Perplexity Labs Is Here: 5 Things You Should Know
Perplexity has officially launched its Perplexity Labs. It is a new workspace built to handle more complex and high-effort tasks. The company announced the Labs via a series of tweets on its official X (formerly Twitter) account. The Labs has been positioned as a feature-rich environment primarily for Pro users. So, in this article, we have compiled five takeaways from Labs that you should know about.
1. Labs is Built for Deep, Complex Work
As already mentioned Labs is primarily built for deep and complex tasks. According to the company, Labs is “like having an entire team at your disposal.” It goes beyond the quick answers or simple prompts and allows to build things like analytical reports, presentations, and dynamic dashboards all from a single platform.
2. It Uses Advanced Tools Like Code and Browsers
The Perplexity Labs is different from the existing Deep Research feature. The new Labs features take more time compared to Deep Research and pull in more resources. It includes code execution, headless browsing, and even design tools to create more interactive and comprehensive results.
3. You Can Build and Deploy Mini Apps Right Inside Labs
The Labs feature also allows you to create simple yet interactive apps directly within the platform. These can include dashboards, slideshows, or even websites, all accessible in the “App” tab. The best part about this capability is that you don’t have to switch to external dev tools or platforms.
4. Everything You Create is Stored in One Place
All the files created with Labs workflow, including documents, spreadsheets, charts, images, and code files, are automatically saved and organized in the “Assets” tab. As a result, it becomes easier to keep track of project components without digging through folders or export menus.
5. Labs Is Available Now to All Pro Users
There’s no waitlist or early access program. Labs is already live for all Perplexity Pro subscribers. If you already have a Pro account, you can dive in now and start building.
That’s all from Perplexity for now, but more features are on the way. Reports say the company is working on a low-code/no-code builder called Projects. CEO Aravind Srinivas also teased a new feature for Comet. In a recent tweet, he stated that Comet will eventually support virtual meeting recording, transcription, and in-meeting search, although these features will not be available at launch.
