Sports betting data provider OpticOdds has integrated its services into the Perplexity Computer platform for Pro and Max subscribers. This represents a significant advancement, as it is the first instance of such high-quality market data being accessible to consumers via an AI application without requiring a separate OpticOdds subscription or setup process.
Eligible Pro and Max subscribers will soon be able to query Perplexity Computer for insights on sports betting, including line movements, player props, injury impacts, and market comparisons, all derived from OpticOdds’ real-time data stream.
The same low-latency framework that sportsbooks, exchanges, and major prediction markets depend on for their internal trading and risk management is now available directly to consumers through one of the leading AI solutions in the industry, according to the company, with OpticOdds’ functionality handling over one million requests per second.
“For the past twenty years, the high-quality data underpinning real-time markets has been confined to professional trading desks. This marks the first time that this infrastructure is made directly available to consumers,” stated Matt Restivo, Senior Vice President of Sports Data Services at Gambling.com Group. “AI is quickly becoming the conduit for the data that powers real markets, with sports betting being one of the pioneering fields for this evolution, and it won’t stop here.”
“OpticOdds has developed the data infrastructure relied on by elite sportsbooks for real-time market pricing, and this is the same foundation we wanted for every sports betting inquiry within Perplexity Computer,” noted Jeff Grimes, Head of Live Event Product at Perplexity. “Accuracy forms the bedrock of Perplexity, enabling any Pro or Max subscriber to inquire about player props or track line movements across different sportsbooks in a single dialogue without the need for a distinct OpticOdds subscription or setup.”
When a user poses a sports betting question to Perplexity Computer, the system queries the OpticOdds API in real-time and delivers responses based directly on the live data feed. This integration simplifies what used to require multiple browser tabs and specialized tools into a straightforward natural-language conversation.
Users can inquire about which NBA player props have fluctuated the most in the last hour, where the betting spread has altered in a specific NFL game, or which sportsbooks are still supporting the over on a particular market, receiving real-time answers sourced from the same database accessed by professional traders.
The integration with Perplexity Computer serves as OpticOdds’ first consumer-facing application. In May 2026, OpticOdds pioneered the deployment of Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for AI agents, rolling out native support for Anthropic’s Claude.
This Perplexity Computer integration adopts a more direct approach: OpticOdds is seamlessly incorporated into the product, allowing eligible Pro and Max subscribers to access real-time sports market data immediately upon inquiry, without any need for configuration or additional costs.
“Having witnessed platform transitions across operators—mobile, direct-to-consumer, live streaming, and the sports betting landscape—the trend remains consistent: companies that possess the data and infrastructure outlast those trying to guess what comes next,” Restivo added. “AI represents the next evolution, and we’re leading the charge in building for it.”
