How to Migrate from Perplexity to Ceven

Perplexity's Assistant and Comet browser autonomously browse, research, and act across connected apps to complete multi-step tasks. Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates, and can build & host no-code pages/apps. This guide will help you migrate from Perplexity to Ceven.

Before starting the migration, ensure you have a clear understanding of your current workflows in Perplexity and the data they handle. Note that there is no automatic import feature; you will need to rebuild these workflows in Ceven and reauthorize the same connected apps. Running both systems in parallel on real data is crucial to ensure a smooth transition.

Migrate from Perplexity to Ceven in 6 steps

  1. Inventory Your Workflows by Outcome

    Document each workflow in Perplexity, focusing on the outcomes rather than the steps. This will help you understand what needs to be achieved in Ceven. List all connected apps and the data they handle.

  2. Connect the Same Apps in Ceven

    Sign up for Ceven and connect the same apps you used in Perplexity. This ensures that all necessary integrations are in place before rebuilding your workflows.

  3. Rebuild Your Workflows in Ceven

    In Ceven, describe the outcomes you documented earlier. Use Ceven's powerful AI steps and human-approval gates to rebuild your workflows. Do not recreate one-for-one; take this opportunity to consolidate and improve.

  4. Add AI Steps and Approval Gates

    Identify areas in your Perplexity workflows where manual intervention or brittle steps were required. In Ceven, add AI steps to automate these tasks and human-approval gates to ensure data integrity and security.

  5. Validate in Parallel

    Run both Perplexity and Ceven in parallel, processing real data through both systems. Ensure that the outputs from Ceven match those from Perplexity before considering a full switch over.

  6. Schedule and Cut Over

    Once you are confident in Ceven's performance, schedule a cutover. Ensure all stakeholders are informed and ready for the transition. Monitor the system closely post-cutover to address any issues promptly.

Why teams switch from Perplexity to Ceven

Teams often switch from Perplexity to Ceven to leverage Ceven's robust AI workflow automation capabilities. Ceven's ability to connect to 1,000+ tools and run end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates makes it a powerful alternative. Additionally, Ceven's no-code page and app builder allows for the creation of custom interfaces, enhancing user experience and productivity.

Ceven's platform is designed to handle complex workflows with ease, providing a more scalable and flexible solution compared to Perplexity. The ability to add AI steps and human-approval gates ensures that workflows are not only automated but also secure and reliable. Teams can streamline their operations and reduce manual intervention, leading to increased efficiency and accuracy.

What moves over and what doesn't

During the migration from Perplexity to Ceven, the workflows and connected apps are the primary focus. You will need to rebuild these workflows in Ceven and reauthorize the same connected apps. Data itself does not automatically transfer; you will need to ensure that the data handled by these workflows is accurately processed in Ceven.

What does not move over is the specific configuration and setup of Perplexity's workflows. You will need to describe the outcomes and rebuild the workflows in Ceven using its unique features and capabilities. This process allows for consolidation and improvement, resulting in more efficient and effective workflows.

Avoiding the common pitfalls

One common pitfall is attempting to recreate Perplexity workflows one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and use Ceven's advanced features to build more robust and efficient workflows. Another pitfall is not running both systems in parallel. This step is crucial for validating that Ceven can handle the workload and produce the expected results.

Ensure that all stakeholders are informed and prepared for the transition. Clear communication and planning can prevent disruptions and ensure a smooth cutover. Additionally, monitor the system closely post-cutover to address any issues promptly.

Frequently asked

Can Ceven auto-import my workflows from Perplexity?

No, Ceven does not offer an auto-import feature. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which usually results in more streamlined and capable workflows.

How long does the migration process typically take?

The duration of the migration process depends on the complexity and number of workflows in Perplexity. It is recommended to allocate sufficient time for inventory, rebuilding, validation, and cutover.

What should I do if I encounter issues during the migration?

If you encounter issues, refer to Ceven's documentation and support resources. Running both Perplexity and Ceven in parallel can help identify and resolve issues before the final cutover.
