On May 29, 2025, Perplexity AI introduced Perplexity Labs—a feature designed to help you tackle complex projects with ease. Available to Pro subscribers on both web and mobile (with desktop support coming soon), it lets you turn a single prompt into a fully functional product.
Labs conducts autonomous sessions of around ten minutes, blending deep web searches, code execution, and on-the-fly file creation. Whether you need analytical reports, spreadsheets, dashboards, or even small web applications, Labs brings all these elements together in one intuitive workflow. Its ‘Assets’ tab conveniently stores charts, images, CSV files, and code, while the ‘App’ tab enables you to host mini-apps.
If you’ve ever struggled to piece together solutions from different tools, you’ll appreciate how Labs extends beyond the brief literature review of its Research mode. With extended processing time and robust capabilities powered by Claude 4 Opus-class reasoning, your ideas can quickly evolve into comprehensive outputs.
This launch builds on Perplexity’s ongoing platform evolution—the answer engine from two-and-a-half years ago, the rollout of Deep Research in February 2025, and the launch of an online LLM API last autumn. Backed by venture capital and its own pplx models, Perplexity now offers a three-tiered stack: Search for quick facts, Research for synthesis, and Labs for full production.
Early users are already noticing the benefits. One tester highlighted the engaging, interactive experience of Labs, likening it to having an entire team dedicated to transforming ideas into actionable products. By consolidating multiple workflows into one environment, Perplexity not only enhances the Pro subscription value but also provides a competitive edge over traditional agent-style toolchains.
