Perplexity

Research

Neotask on OpenClaw adds Perplexity's real-time web intelligence to every agent workflow — searching, asking, researching, and reasoning across the live web without leaving your automation stack.

What You Can Do

The Perplexity integration gives Neotask 4 web intelligence actions covering search, Q&A, research, and reasoning.

  • `perplexity_search` — run a web search and get a synthesized, cited answer with supporting sources
  • `perplexity_ask` — ask a direct question and receive a concise, sourced answer
  • `perplexity_research` — activate deep research mode to compile a thorough multi-source investigation on any topic
  • `perplexity_reason` — engage Perplexity's reasoning engine for complex analytical questions that require multi-step logic

    • Every action runs autonomously or requires your approval — you decide.

    Try Asking

  • "Search for the latest news on enterprise AI adoption trends in financial services"
  • "What did OpenAI announce at their last developer event?"
  • "Do deep research on our top 3 competitors — summarize their recent product launches, funding, and customer feedback"
  • "Reason through the implications of the new EU AI Act requirements for our SaaS product"

    • Pro Tips

  • Use `perplexity_research` for competitor intelligence reports — your agent runs deep dives on each competitor weekly and delivers structured summaries
  • Pair Perplexity search with your content creation workflow so every piece of content is grounded in current, cited facts
  • For complex business decisions, use `perplexity_reason` to get a structured analysis before the decision reaches a human approver
  • Multi-agent teams can parallelize research: each agent investigates a different topic using Perplexity and a lead agent synthesizes the findings into a single report
