Perplexity AI Launches Enterprise Search Platform
Perplexity AI has launched Perplexity Enterprise, an AI-powered internal search platform that indexes and searches across company knowledge bases, documents, Slack messages, and email. The product targets enterprises struggling with information fragmentation.
Perplexity AI, best known for its consumer AI search engine, has launched Perplexity Enterprise — a dedicated platform that brings its AI-powered search capabilities to internal corporate knowledge. The product indexes company documents, Slack channels, email archives, Confluence pages, Notion workspaces, and other enterprise data sources to provide instant, cited answers to employee questions.
The platform uses Perplexity's proprietary search and retrieval system combined with fine-tuned language models to deliver accurate, sourced responses that always link back to the original documents. Unlike generic chatbot solutions, Perplexity Enterprise maintains strict access controls, ensuring employees only see information they're authorized to access.
Early adopters include Stripe, Shopify, and Databricks, all of which report significant reductions in time spent searching for internal information. Stripe's Head of Engineering noted that "engineers spend 30% less time searching for documentation and internal context" since deploying the platform.
Perplexity Enterprise integrates with SSO providers, supports SOC 2 Type II compliance, and offers data residency options for regulated industries. The platform processes all queries within the customer's chosen cloud region and does not use enterprise data for model training.
Pricing starts at $40 per user per month for teams of 50 or more, with custom enterprise pricing for larger deployments. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas said the enterprise product represents a "natural evolution" of the company's mission to make information instantly accessible.

AI Agents Market Reaches $15 Billion as Enterprise Adoption Surges
The global market for AI agents — autonomous AI systems that can plan, execute, and iterate on complex multi-step tasks — has reached $15 billion in annual spending, according to a new report from McKinsey. This represents a 200% increase from 2025, driven by enterprise adoption of agentic AI for customer service, software development, data analysis, and business process automation. The report identifies three tiers of AI agent adoption: basic agents that handle single-step tasks like email responses and appointment scheduling (adopted by 65% of enterprises), intermediate agents that manage multi-step workflows like report generation and data pipeline management (35% adoption), and advanced agents that autonomously execute complex processes like code deployment and financial analysis (8% adoption). The largest spending categories are customer service agents ($4.2B), coding agents ($3.8B), and data analysis agents ($2.5B). McKinsey projects the market will reach $45 billion by 2028 as agent reliability improves and enterprises become more comfortable delegating complex decisions to AI. Key enabling platforms include OpenAI's Agents SDK, Anthropic's Claude computer-use capabilities, and LangChain's agent framework. The report warns that agent governance and monitoring remain underdeveloped, with most enterprises lacking adequate oversight mechanisms for autonomous AI actions.

GPT-5.2's Agentic Mode Transforms Enterprise Workflows
OpenAI's GPT-5.2 introduced a fundamentally new approach to agentic task completion that is already transforming enterprise workflows. The model can now maintain coherent plans across 50+ sequential tool calls with parallel execution, reducing latency in complex automation pipelines by up to 60%. Early enterprise adopters report that GPT-5.2's agentic mode handles tasks like multi-step data analysis, cross-platform content publishing, and automated code review workflows that previously required custom orchestration code. The key innovation is what OpenAI calls deliberative alignment — a training approach that lets the model dynamically allocate compute to harder sub-tasks while breezing through simpler ones. This means a single agentic session can handle both quick lookups and deep reasoning without manual configuration. Several Fortune 500 companies have reported 40-70% time savings on analyst workflows by deploying GPT-5.2 agents through the API. However, reliability remains a concern — OpenAI acknowledges a 3-5% failure rate on chains exceeding 30 steps, and enterprise deployments require human-in-the-loop checkpoints for critical decisions.
