OpticOdds, the sports data infrastructure underneath nearly 200 sportsbooks worldwide, announced the beginning of a limited beta rollout to power sports betting answers inside Perplexity Computer for Pro and Max subscribers, with full rollout to follow. It marks the first time this category of institutional-grade market data has been made available directly to consumers through an AI product with no separate OpticOdds subscription or setup required.

As part of this initial limited rollout, eligible Pro and Max subscribers can soon ask Perplexity Computer sports betting questions covering line movement, player props, injury impact, and market comparisons, and receive answers grounded in OpticOdds’ real-time data feed. The same low-latency infrastructure that sportsbooks, exchanges, and the major prediction markets rely on for their internal trading and risk operations is now reaching consumers through one of the most advanced AI products on the market, with OpticOdds’ functionality to process more than one million requests per second.

"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.”
