Perplexity Launches Advanced AI Workspace
Perplexity, the AI search platform positioning itself as a competitor to Google, has launched Perplexity Labs – a new AI-powered workspace for Pro users. Priced at $20 per month, this tool significantly extends Perplexity’s capabilities beyond search by enabling users to create complex, output-oriented deliverables like reports, dashboards, spreadsheets, and even simple web applications.
Unlike traditional AI assistants focused on fast, single-answer tasks, Labs supports longer, multi-step workflows that can take over 10 minutes. It combines AI search, code execution, file generation, and data visualization to automate high-value tasks. Users can request detailed outputs such as market research, financial summaries, or product analysis. The results include exportable structured data, charts, formatted documents, and even backend code for interactive web apps.
Perplexity Labs is already available via web and mobile apps (iOS and Android), with desktop versions for macOS and Windows in development. All files generated during a project are saved in an “Assets” tab, streamlining access to charts, images, and code files.
This release marks a strategic evolution for Perplexity, which originally focused on real-time, conversational search. With Labs, the company enters the productivity and enterprise AI space. It follows recent moves like the acquisition of Read.vc, a professional social media platform, and the development of Comet, a custom web browser designed to enhance AI-based information access.
By transforming its platform into a hub for building tangible outputs – not just delivering answers – Perplexity aims to attract professionals and teams seeking AI tools that can automate deeper workflows and accelerate knowledge work. The launch reinforces Perplexity's commitment to becoming more than a search engine, positioning itself as an all-in-one platform for research, creation, and analysis.
