Ehsan's Recommendation
Most teams underestimate how much time they waste on manual handoffs between ai chat and automation tools. With Perplexity AI feeding into Zapier, you remove the biggest friction point in most security monitoring workflows. Deploy this in a pilot with one team. The proof point sells itself.
