How to use Perplexity Computer to build a unified PM dashboard
One of Perplexity Computer’s newest capabilities is its ability to use external data sources as embeds in the apps you build.
Let’s imagine you have a bunch of different data sources:
e.g.
Slack threads with decisions that need to be actioned. Asana tasks that haven't been touched in a week. A Google Sheet someone built three months ago that's now the source of truth for half the roadmap. Linear tickets your engineers are actually working from.
Perplexity Computer can pull all of it into a single live dashboard that stays in sync with each source.
What you connect: Slack + Asana + Linear + Google Sheets
What it gets you:
Slack: surfaces threads tagged with decisions, blockers, or action items
Asana: pulls open tasks by owner and due date, flagging anything overdue or unassigned
Linear: shows active and upcoming engineering tickets, linked to the right projects and milestones
Google Sheets: reads your planning or tracking sheet as a live data source, so manually maintained trackers finally sit alongside everything else
The result is one view of what your team committed to, what's in progress, and what's at risk - without anyone having to manually compile it.
The most useful version of this isn't just a read-only dashboard either. Because Computer can write back to each connected tool, you could build it in a way that allows you to push updates from your dashboard back into these tools.
For product teams running across multiple tools with no single source of truth, this is one of the more immediately practical things you can build with Perplexity Computer.
