Connect Bento to Perplexity
When New Tag fires in Bento, your agent runs Chat Completion in Perplexity. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
What do you want Bento and Perplexity to do together?

Questions
Bento and Perplexity, answered
What can start an automation from Bento?
Any of Bento's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Tag. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Perplexity when something happens in Bento?
Any of Perplexity's 5 actions, including Chat Completion, Generate contextualized embeddings, Generate embeddings and Run agent. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Perplexity to Bento?
Perplexity has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Bento. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Perplexity's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Bento or Perplexity?
No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.
Can my AI client use Bento and Perplexity without building an automation?
Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both.
What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
