See the news that prompted this - Can Perplexity's Computer for Counsel really beat Westlaw? Gunderson Dettmer says 80% of attorneys already use it.
News
Perplexity launched Computer for Counsel on June 24, a legal-focused agentic platform that routes tasks across more than 20 frontier AI models. The system connects with document management tools, contract software, and legal research databases lawyers already use. For those tracking AI workflow automation, this shows how vendors are moving deeper into full work handling, not just search or chat. The catch is that one firm says adoption hit 80% after rollout in May 2025, but the bigger test is whether it can displace entrenched legal tools.
