Does Perplexity work with Twinfield?
Yes. Perplexity works with Twinfield through Twinfield AI Connect, a connector based on MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard that connects AI to your own tools and data. You add the connector as a custom connector, authorise once with Twinfield and then ask your questions in the chat. This works on Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise.

What can you ask Perplexity about your bookkeeping?
As soon as the connector is active, you query your Twinfield administration directly. Perplexity looks up the answer in your figures and can, after your approval, also prepare something. A few examples:
"Compare my costs for this period with the same period last year."
"Which debtors have the longest outstanding invoices?"
"Give an overview of my revenue per cost centre."
"Create a draft credit note for debtor Z."
Looking up and preparing, then, with you at the controls. An action is first prepared as a draft and only processed in Twinfield after your approval. You will find the complete overview of what the connector can do in How does the Twinfield AI Connect connector work?
Is the connector with Perplexity safe?
Your bookkeeping data stays in Twinfield. The authorisation runs through Twinfield itself, so you do not share your password with Perplexity and you can remove the access again whenever you want. Read more about safety and privacy in the general connector article.
Frequently asked questions about Perplexity and Twinfield
Which Perplexity subscription do I need?
Custom connectors work on Perplexity Pro, Max and Enterprise; on a free account you cannot add your own connector. A connector sits at account level, so you have it on hand in all your conversations.
Why am I not getting answers from my figures?
Check whether Twinfield AI Connect is ticked under the + menu (Connectors and sources) before you ask your question. If the connector is off in that conversation, Perplexity pulls nothing from Twinfield.
Can Perplexity also change things in my administration?
Yes. Besides looking things up, Perplexity can also prepare actions, such as a sales transaction or a credit note. These are only carried out after you approve them. You stay in control.
