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.

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.
