Launch Computer in Teams

What changed

Perplexity announced on May 4, 2026 that its Computer feature is now live inside Microsoft Teams. The integration lets teams pull shared context from conversations and run data science queries directly in the workspace.

No separate pricing was listed for the Teams version. It extends the existing Computer product that already supports file, app, and web orchestration.

Why it matters

Teams remains the default workspace for many large organizations. Placing Computer there reduces context switching and gives Perplexity a direct path into existing enterprise data flows.

This follows the April 1, 2026 Slack integration by roughly one month. The clear bet is that persistent shared context inside the primary chat tool will drive higher usage than standalone access.

How to use it

Open Microsoft Teams and search the app directory for Perplexity Computer. Add the app to a team or channel after confirming an active Computer Enterprise subscription.

Once installed, mention the bot in any chat to reference prior team messages or request data analysis on attached files. Results appear inline without leaving the thread.

Watch for

Adoption will show up first in Teams-heavy companies that already pay for Computer Enterprise. Privacy complaints around shared context access would stall rollout. The logical next step is tighter ties to Outlook calendars or SharePoint libraries.
