How to connect AI: Perplexity and OpenAI GPT Assistants
Create a New Scenario to Connect AI: Perplexity and OpenAI GPT Assistants
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a AI: Perplexity, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, AI: Perplexity or OpenAI GPT Assistants will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find AI: Perplexity or OpenAI GPT Assistants, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the AI: Perplexity Node
Select the AI: Perplexity node from the app selection panel on the right.

AI: Perplexity
Configure the AI: Perplexity
Click on the AI: Perplexity node to configure it. You can modify the AI: Perplexity URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the OpenAI GPT Assistants Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the AI: Perplexity node, select OpenAI GPT Assistants from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within OpenAI GPT Assistants.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring AI: Perplexity, OpenAI GPT Assistants, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the AI: Perplexity and OpenAI GPT Assistants integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between AI: Perplexity and OpenAI GPT Assistants (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect AI: Perplexity and OpenAI GPT Assistants
Perplexity + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Slack: When a new message is posted in a designated Slack channel, Perplexity is used to research the topic. The research results are then sent to an OpenAI GPT Assistant to create a summary. Finally, the summarized insights are posted back to the Slack channel.
Perplexity + OpenAI GPT Assistants + Google Docs: OpenAI GPT Assistant uses Perplexity to research a specified topic based on a trigger. The assistant then drafts a report based on that research and saves it as a new document in Google Docs.
