What is Perplexity Computer?

Greg Isenberg explores the capabilities of Perplexity Computer, testing its potential for entrepreneurs to increase productivity and revenue. He begins by prompting the AI to identify non-obvious use cases for founders, focusing on warm outbound strategies. Isenberg connects his Gmail account to Perplexity and directs it to research podcast sponsorship opportunities, specifically identifying contacts at companies that advertise on TBPN and its competitors. The AI generates personalized emails and sets up recurring monitoring tasks. Isenberg also experiments with competitive intelligence gathering, instructing Perplexity to monitor competitors' websites and social media for changes. Additionally, he tests its ability to compile investor pipeline research into a spreadsheet and create investment memos.
