New Delhi: Perplexity AI has announced its latest powerful new feature called Labs, designed to transform user prompts into a complete, ready-to-use project in just a few minutes. On Friday, this feature is available to Pro subscribers on the web, iOS, and Android platforms.
This lab takes Perplexity’s capabilities beyond simple search and research. While the original Search and newly renamed Research modes are focused on fast answers and deep analysis, Labs act more like an AI-powered project team. It can generate detailed reports, spreadsheets, interactive dashboards, web applications, and more, all within a short timeframe.
From Perplexity, Using the labs is like having a virtual team that handles everything, from ideation to execution. The system leverages advanced tools, including real-time web browsing, code execution, and asset creation (such as artefacts, images, and spreadsheets), to build structured deliverables from the ground up.
Each project in Labs comes with an Assets tab to organise all generated content and an App tab for creating dynamic web components, such as slideshows and dashboards. This marks a significant leap from the platform’s traditional quick-response tools, offering richer and more extended workflows.
To help users get started, Perplexity has curated a Projects Gallery showcasing examples of what Labs can create. Labs can be accessed via the mode selector bar on supported platforms, with a desktop app version forthcoming.
Perplexity is also testing its latest AI browser, Comet, in beta for select Apple Silicon Mac users. Comet is built to revolutionise web browsing with real-time, context-aware intelligence. It customises responses using the user’s open tabs and browsing history, all stored locally for privacy and never used for model training.
