Perplexity launched Computer for Counsel, an agentic AI system designed to automate administrative workflows for legal teams. The product sits as a research, drafting, and workflow layer that breaks legal tasks into subtasks and routes each to different AI models and data sources, then assembles results with citations linked back to their sources for attorney verification. Nearly 75 percent of lawyers report administrative tasks as a major time challenge, and the system addresses this by connecting to over 400 legal and business tools through an open standard called the Model Context Protocol, as well as premium legal sources like case law databases and contract templates. Unlike traditional legal research platforms, it functions as an orchestration layer built on top of tools lawyers already use rather than attempting to replace existing legal research databases.
