On May 29, 2025, AI startup Perplexity introduced “Labs,” a new feature designed to help users create spreadsheets, dashboards, and even web applications in minutes. Available exclusively to Pro subscribers, Labs aims to simplify complex tasks that traditionally require extensive research, coordination, and technical expertise.
Perplexity describes Labs as akin to having a dedicated team at one’s disposal. The feature performs self-supervised work, utilizing tools like deep web browsing, code execution, and chart and image creation to transform user ideas into tangible outputs.
Users can leverage Labs to automate tasks such as structuring data, applying formulas, and generating charts or text documents. All generated assets, including code files, charts, and images, are accessible for download via the “Assets” tab. Additionally, the “App” tab enables users to swiftly create and deploy interactive web applications, dashboards, websites, and slideshows, eliminating the need for external development tools.
The introduction of Labs is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to execute projects like marketing campaigns, financial analyses, meal planning, or simple web app development without possessing coding skills. By streamlining these processes, Labs reduces the time and resources typically required, allowing users to accomplish in minutes what might otherwise take days or weeks.
Perplexity Labs is accessible on the web and through the Android and iOS versions of the app. Users can activate the feature from the mode selector in the input bar. While currently available for mobile and web platforms, the company has indicated plans to extend support to Mac and Windows applications in the near future.
This development underscores Perplexity’s commitment to democratizing AI-powered tools, enabling users across various domains to harness advanced technologies for their projects. By lowering the barriers to entry, Labs represents a significant step toward more inclusive and accessible AI applications in everyday tasks.
