OpticOdds integrates with Perplexity Computer to answer betting queries

OpticOdds has integrated with Perplexity Computer to power sports betting queries for Pro and Max subscribers, the companies said on July 16th, 2026. The rollout makes OpticOdds’ real-time market data—covering odds, line movement and player markets from nearly 200 global sportsbooks—available inside Perplexity Computer without a separate OpticOdds subscription.

Perplexity Computer calls the OpticOdds API in real time when a user asks a betting question, returning answers based on the live feed. Use cases cited include tracking line movement, comparing markets across sportsbooks, and assessing injury impact and player props.

“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.”

OpticOdds said the Perplexity Computer launch is its first consumer-facing deployment. The company previously released a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for AI agents in May 2026, with native support for Anthropic’s Claude.
