OpticOdds, the sports data infrastructure underneath nearly 200 sportsbooks worldwide, is now fully integrated with Perplexity and live for Pro and Max subscribers to power betting answers. It marks the first time this category of institutional-grade market data has been made available directly to consumers through an AI product with no separate OpticOdds subscription or setup required.

Pro and Max subscribers are now able to ask Perplexity Computer sports betting questions covering line movement, player props, injury impact, and market comparisons, and receive answers grounded in OpticOdds’ real-time data feed. The same low-latency infrastructure that sportsbooks, exchanges, and the major prediction markets rely on for their internal trading and risk operations is now reaching consumers through one of the most advanced AI products on the market, with OpticOdds’ functionality to process more than one million requests per second.

“For two decades, the commercial-grade data underneath real-time markets has lived inside professional trading desks. This is the first time that infrastructure reaches consumers directly,” said Matt Restivo, SVP of Sports Data Services at Gambling.com Group. “AI is becoming the distribution layer for the data that real markets run on. Sports is one of the first places that’s happening, and it won’t be the last.”

“OpticOdds has built the data layer that the most sophisticated sportsbooks rely on to price markets in real time, and that’s the same foundation we wanted behind every sports betting query inside Perplexity Computer,” said Jeff Grimes, Head of Live Event Product, Perplexity. “Accuracy is the foundation of Perplexity, and now any Pro or Max subscriber can ask about a player prop or track line movement across books in one conversation, with no separate OpticOdds subscription or setup required.”

When a user asks Perplexity Computer a sports betting question, the product calls the OpticOdds API in real time and returns an answer drawn directly from the live feed. The integration turns research that previously required multiple browser tabs, manual comparison, and specialist tools into a single natural-language conversation. A user can ask which NBA player props have moved most in the last hour, where the spread has shifted on a given NFL game, or which sportsbooks are still offering the over on a specific market, and get the answer in real time, drawn from the same data feed used by professional traders.

The Perplexity Computer integration is OpticOdds’ first consumer-facing deployment. In May 2026, OpticOdds became the first sports data company to ship a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for AI agents, releasing native support for Anthropic’s Claude. The Perplexity Computer integration takes a different path: OpticOdds is built directly into the product, so eligible Pro and Max subscribers get real-time sports market data the moment they ask, with no configuration or extra cost needed.

“Having seen platform shifts across operators – mobile, direct-to-consumer, live-video streaming and sports betting itself – the pattern is always the same: the companies that own the data and infrastructure layer outlast the companies that try to predict what comes next,” Restivo said. “AI is the next platform and we’re at the forefront building for it.”
