  "summary": "Flanks, a WealthTech company, has partnered with Perplexity, an AI platform. According to Finextra, this partnership aims to power AI-driven wealth management with data aggregation. Flanks provides wealth institutions with direct access to a unified, institution-grade, compliant wealth data layer. Perplexity has a curated connector ecosystem with hundreds of integrations.\n\nPerplexity's AI platform is built on accurate AI, and it offers various features, including a local version of its AI that can run on a user's machine, keeping private data local. This local version, called Portable Computer, can escalate tasks to the cloud when needed, but only when explicitly told to do so.\n\nThe partnership between Flanks and Perplexity is expected to leverage Perplexity's AI capabilities and Flanks' data aggregation to provide AI-driven wealth management solutions.",
