The Rundown

This guide shows you how to use Perplexity’s agent search feature, Perplexity Computer, as a personal shopper. You will use it to find items that match your preferences, check what is in stock in your size, surface deals, and produce a detailed shopping report with direct links. Perplexity Computer is normally for Max accounts, but Perplexity Pro users can test it with free credits right now.

Who This Is Useful For

  • Busy shoppers who want help narrowing products by size, color, fit, or brand without clicking through a dozen dead ends
  • Perplexity Pro users who have bonus Computer credits and want a concrete test before deciding whether it is worth spending more
  • Anyone who is overwhelmed by the number of products and shopping websites online

What You Will Build

You will create a detailed shopping report with links to the best deals and options that match your shopping criteria.

  • A shortlist of best overall options
  • A best budget option
  • Items that are actually in stock in your size
  • Direct links to buy

What You Need

  • A Perplexity Pro account
  • The Perplexity or Comet app, optional
  • A difficult shopping decision with lots of potential options

Going Further

  • After you build your shopping report, you can ask Perplexity Computer to set up scheduled tasks to monitor item prices and new listings each day or week. The guide notes that these scheduled tasks should not use your Perplexity Computer tokens.
Ask Perplexity to “find you a deal” so it looks for sales and discounts before you buy.
