TL;DR
What did @AnikCodes use Perplexity Computer for?
Planning to resell products online on a small budget, a person asked Perplexity Computer to find wholesale products with strong margins and got back a 14-page research document. The 14-page document covered 18 products across 5 categories, net margins after marketplace fees, a guide to local wholesale markets, a courier comparison, a tax guide, a budget breakdown and top 5 picks. They say they are still checking the numbers in real life.
What they did
They told Perplexity Computer they wanted to start reselling online from their city with a small budget and asked it to find the best products from a wholesale marketplace with strong margins. It ran several agents in parallel for about six minutes and returned a PDF.

Worth knowing
- Long Computer tasks use credits. Treat margins and fees as estimates and check them with real suppliers and marketplace fee pages before buying stock.
- Price check: Perplexity: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Oct 31, 2026).
