FAQ

The Tolstoy Plugin in Perplexity.

What can Perplexity do with the Tolstoy Plugin?

The Tolstoy Plugin lets Perplexity work with Tolstoy information you approve, including product videos, media-library assets, shoppable placements, campaign creative, and performance data when those features are available in your workspace.

Is this only for Shopify brands?
