Setup guide

KPI Update Agent for Perplexity - investor KPI updates in minutes, not evenings

The free KPI Update Agent runs on Perplexity as three plain-text files: set it up once in a Perplexity Space, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the KPI Update Agent does

If research already happens in Perplexity, this agent turns it into the finished artifact. It converts your approved metrics into a consistent weekly update: metric, current value, previous value, source and commentary, ready to review and send.

KPI updates decay when the assembly is manual. This assistant pulls the week's values into the fixed format with sources noted and drafts the commentary against the prior week. You verify and send. The update goes out on Friday, in the format everyone knows, every week.

Where the Included files go in Perplexity

Create a Space for the job, upload the Included files, and paste the setup prompt into the Space instructions. Run the setup, approve the sample-data test, and start each run in that Space. Save the agent's output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).

What a run looks like on Perplexity

A run looks like this: you open the Space, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and Perplexity works through kpi-updates with cited sources where the job needs them. The output - it converts your approved metrics into a consistent weekly update: metric, current value, previous value, source and commentary, ready to review and send - is drafted for your review.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Space in Perplexity and name it after the job (for example: kpi updates).
  2. Upload skill.md to the Space and paste setup-prompt.txt into the Space instructions.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs kpi-updates on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. Start each real run in that Space with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs; save the output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).

Honest limits on Perplexity

Perplexity is research-first: it drafts and reasons well, but writes to your Google Workspace happen where you save the output. File and Space limits depend on your plan.
