Perplexity Computer for Counsel
How the agent orchestrator helps legal teams run research and workflows so lawyers can spend more time on judgement and counsel.
Key Things Covered
Move from answers to finished legal work
Computer goes past chat-style responses and delivers completed research briefs, contract reviews, regulatory summaries, and client profiles, with every conclusion linked back to the case, statute, filing, or agreement behind it.
Run research that holds up to attorney review
Draw on legal-specific sources including EDGAR, Midpage, LegalZoom, and Deel alongside real-time web indexing of court decisions and agency guidance, so teams can build briefs, monitor rulings, and track regulatory changes from current material.
Bring in the firm's own matter files
Connect Microsoft 365, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, Dropbox, Salesforce, and Notion through App Connectors, with Ironclad, Carta, and DeepJudge coming soon, so agents reason over executed agreements, past matters, and privileged research alongside the open web.
Run continuous workflows, not one-off prompts
Schedule background jobs that monitor regulatory dockets, track case law developments, and profile prospective clients, then route the work into Word, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Slack, and email without breaking context.
Summary
Legal teams have always needed more than an answer. Client work, diligence, and regulatory decisions depend on the reasoning, the underlying authority, and the source material that carries through the rest of the matter.
Perplexity Computer delivers that by orchestrating AI agents across 20+ frontier models, files, tools, memory, and the open web to run complex legal workflows end to end, from legal research and regulatory monitoring to contract review, patent analysis, and client development.
This guide shows firms and in-house legal departments practical ways to plug Computer into the workflows they already run, so research, review, and client development happen faster, with every output traceable to the original case, statute, or filing.
