Perplexity

Monitor media coverage in real-time

You can now pull live news and social mentions straight into your chat session. By invoking `search_content`, you get the latest discourse on your brand without switching tabs or checking browser dashboards. This setup connects your agent to the pulse of the market. It uses `get_media_insights` to summarize sentiment, giving you a clear view of how your brand is performing right now.

Analyze search trends within Claude Desktop

Stop guessing why your mentions spiked. Use `get_search_analytics` to pull historical data patterns directly into your workspace for immediate review. Your agent parses this data to find correlations between your campaigns and public reaction. It uses `get_search_details` to verify the specific parameters of your saved searches.

Manage your intelligence library

Organize your PR operations by querying your folders and tags through the interface. The `list_folders` and `list_tags` tools ensure you are always looking at the correct segments of your data. When you need to export findings, `list_content_exports` provides a list of ready-to-use files. You can then action those specific items using `get_mention_details` to dig into the raw data.
