The use case: how Zoom deploys Perplexity
Zoom integrated Perplexity's API into its AI Companion so users can run web search natively inside Zoom Workplace, including during meetings and in post-meeting workflows. Answers come with citations, so users don't have to leave the platform to use a separate search engine.
In the customer’s words
We’re excited to partner with Perplexity to build on our AI Companion experience. With its API, we extended AI Companion’s knowledge federation to include up-to-date web information, without users having to sift through multiple search results, right from inside a meeting or within workflows across Zoom Workplace, saving time and increasing the accuracy of responses.Other companies using Perplexity
