## 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.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Perplexity and Zoom, not ours.

> Rather than waiting for responses to information requests or conducting extensive searches, AI Companion’s embedded Perplexity API allows users to receive the relevant information they need right in the Zoom platform.

> 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.
