Perplexity
Set up a direct SFTP export to Perplexity for out-of-the-box AI visibility for NA retailers.
Overview
Perplexity accepts a standard product data feed via SFTP upload. This channel is largely similar to other flat-file product feed standards. Productsup pre-populates the Dataflow with mandatory and optional columns.
Perplexity's feed documentation is currently decentralized and may be evolving. Productsup will continue to refine this documentation as Perplexity's agentic feed model solidifies. If you find any aspect unclear or out of date, contact your Productsup representative for support.
