Connect OpenClaw to Perplexity

Give an AI agent Perplexity as a tool and it can look things up for itself instead of guessing. It can search the web, run cited chat completions, pull academic papers, and search SEC filings mid-task, then feed the answers straight back into whatever it is working on. When it needs a clean object rather than prose it can request structured JSON output, and it can generate embeddings to compare or rank text.

Every morning, run a web search for news about your competitors and post a cited summary to Slack.
Pass an incoming support ticket through a chat completion with structured JSON output so the reply comes back as tagged fields you can route on.
On a schedule, run an SEC filings search for a ticker and flag any new risk-factor language in a report.
