OpticOdds integrates with Perplexity Computer to power sports betting queries

OpticOdds has integrated with Perplexity Computer to provide real-time sports betting answers for Perplexity Pro and Max subscribers, the companies said in a press release.

Under the integration, users can ask Perplexity Computer questions about sports betting markets—including line movement, player props, injury impact and market comparisons—and receive responses grounded in OpticOdds’ real-time data feed. OpticOdds said its market data is sourced from nearly 200 global sportsbooks.

“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 companies said. Examples provided included identifying NBA player props that have moved most in the last hour, tracking spread shifts on an NFL game, and comparing where specific markets are still available across sportsbooks.

“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 integration is its first consumer-facing deployment. The company also noted that in May 2026 it released a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for AI agents, including native support for Anthropic’s Claude.
