If you have ever tried to research a company before investing, you know the struggle:
- Too many financial websites.
- Complicated reports with hundreds of numbers.
- Scanning news from multiple sources.
Most of us simply give up or rely on social media tips. But now, there’s an AI-powered tool called Perplexity Finance that makes stock research super simple.
And here’s the exciting part: Airtel is offering Perplexity Pro free for its customers. This means you can unlock all premium features of Perplexity Finance at no extra cost.

- Summarize earnings results in plain English.
- Compare companies side by side (e.g., TCS vs Infosys).
- Track daily NIFTY/BSE market movements.

Why Perplexity Finance is Different
Most stock apps give you raw data. Perplexity Finance gives you:
✔ Explanations in simple language.
✔ Data + news + filings in one place.
✔ India-specific support (NSE/BSE).
✔ Trusted sources → so you can double-check facts.
Sample Prompts You Can Try
- “Explain Infosys earnings like I’m a beginner.”
- “Compare Reliance vs Adani – debt, revenue growth, valuation.”
- “What are the upcoming catalysts for HDFC Bank in 2025?”
- “Show me the last 5 years trend of TCS stock with major events.”
🔔 Perplexity Tasks & Alerts – Your Personal Stock Assistant
One of the most useful features inside Perplexity Finance (especially with Pro access from Airtel) is Tasks & Alerts.
1. Set a Price Alert
You can ask Perplexity to track stock price movements for you.
Example:
- “Alert me when $HDFCBANK.NS drops below ₹1,500.”
- “Notify me when $INFY.NS crosses ₹1,800.”
👉 Perplexity will monitor it in the background and notify you with an AI-generated update.
No need to sit in front of charts all day.
2. Create Recurring Market Updates (Tasks)
Apart from alerts, you can create Tasks to get regular updates.
Example:
- “Send me a daily summary of NIFTY50 top movers at 9:30 AM.”
- “Every Monday, give me a weekly outlook for Reliance, Infosys, and HDFC Bank.”
- “Track and update me on upcoming earnings results for major IT companies.”
👉 Like hiring a junior analyst to send you research notes every day, but free.
3. Managing Tasks & Alerts
All your alerts and recurring updates appear under the Tasks tab. You can pause, edit, or delete them anytime.
Pro users (Airtel offer) get more flexibility with multiple alerts + detailed summaries.
Why This Matters for Indian Investors
Most stock market apps only give raw price alerts. Perplexity goes one step ahead by combining alerts with AI insights + context.
Example:
Instead of just saying “Reliance crossed ₹3,000”, it will also add: “Reliance share price rose above ₹3,000 after Jio announced a 5G expansion deal.”
👉 That context helps you understand why the stock moved.
Sample Prompts for Tasks & Alerts
- “Create a task to give me a daily market brief for NIFTY50 at 9 AM.”
- “Set alert when ICICI Bank falls below ₹1,000.”
- “Remind me when Infosys results are announced next quarter.”
- “Track top 5 gainers and losers in BSE Sensex daily.”
✅ With Tasks + Alerts, Perplexity Finance becomes your AI-powered stock assistant. And since Airtel customers get Pro free, you can unlock the full potential without paying.
