Alright fam, Perplexity just stacked some serious wins with a Snapchat partnership kicking off January 2026 and fresh data on AI agents crushing enterprise workflows. These updates mean smoother searches in your daily scroll and agents handling the grunt work so you focus on the big calls. We’re talking real tools for devs syncing Shopify inventory, marketers generating campaign briefs, and analysts auto-summarising call transcripts from Zoom sessions last Tuesday.
Back in November, I was knee-deep in a client pitch, pasting three competitor URLs into Perplexity to synthesise a report. That multi-source magic saved me hours, like seasoning the stew before the goat even shows up. Now with these moves, it’s even more locked in for the hustle.

Perplexity Becomes Default AI on Snapchat from January 2026
Snapchat users get Perplexity baked right into the app as the main AI starting January 2026, shifting from OpenAI tech to Perplexity’s search-driven chats. CEO Aravind Srinivas dropped the news on X, hinting at more projects with Snap.[1]
For developers, query Lens suggestions or camera tools directly in Snapchat without app-switching, like pulling real-time API docs mid-build. Marketers can generate campaign briefs on the fly during a scroll session. Content writers ask for caption ideas tied to live trends, and researchers grab verified facts for quick notes. I used something similar last week generating Snapchat ad copy for a mate’s fashion drop, felt too real when it nailed the Gen Z slang from fresh TikTok data.

- Finance teams filter stock options and analyse investments, like checking MSFT predictions for January 2026.[8]
- Analysts auto-summarise call transcripts from Salesforce demos.
DevOps folks sync inventory with Shopify via agent chains. Marketers build briefs comparing three URLs. We dey here, no wahala, these agents patch the funnel leaks so you move the needle.
