How it works

Set up your Perplexity automation in three simple steps, no code required.

1
Connect Perplexity to GAIA
Open the GAIA Marketplace, find Perplexity, and click "Add to your GAIA". Connects via MCP with a Smithery API key.
2
Ask GAIA anything that requires current web information
Say "what's the latest news about OpenAI?" or "research the top 3 competitors to Notion and summarise their pricing". GAIA uses Perplexity to fetch live, cited answers.
3
GAIA combines web research with action
After researching, GAIA can immediately act on what it finds: log findings to Notion, send a Slack summary, or create a task based on research results.
