You can now ask Comet for research or work help from anywhere in the world. For the best experience, pair your mobile and desktop browsers with Comet device sync so you can teleport to Comet iOS seamlessly.

Computer Updates

Inline editing for any Computer-generated asset: Draw a selection box over any part of a document, presentation, spreadsheet, web app, or PDF that Computer created, type a short instruction, and Computer edits just that region in place. No need to describe where the change should go — Computer sees exactly what you're pointing at.

Scheduled task management: A new homescreen view shows every scheduled task in one place. Each task can be paused or canceled on its own, even if it was created alongside others in the same thread.

Smarter long conversations: Computer detects when a conversation is getting long and now offers a choice — extend the full context for richer detail, or let Computer summarize and keep going at lower cost. The prompt appears inline without blocking the thread, and works on both web and mobile.

Live credit counter: A running credit total is now visible while Computer works, showing exactly how much a task has cost so far in real time.

Multi-select and bulk delete for tasks: Select multiple tasks from the task list and delete them in one action. Single-task deletion now shows a confirmation dialog before removing anything.

Markdown-first drafting with export on demand: Computer now drafts in lightweight Markdown by default instead of generating PDFs. Markdown outputs appear as clean reports in the thread, and can also be downloaded as PDF or DOCX at any time.

Computer Enterprise Updates

New Workflows: Computer workflows, currently available to Enterprise users, now include six workflows, with two new additions: website generation and website audit covering SEO/GEO, accessibility, brand positioning, and more. We are testing additional workflows and plan to make these available across Consumer accounts in the coming weeks. Access workflows from the task bar in Computer.

Computer Connector updates: Performance improvements to connectors for more performant connections between Computer and our subscribers’ application ecosystem. We've added a Vercel connector and an improved Box connector for reading and writing files in Box. Also, subscribers can now request attachments to be added to emails sent via Computer (e.g. reports generated can now be emailed by Computer).

Computer in Slack: Improvements to the Slack App to help new Perplexity subscribers in your Slack Workspace onboard and start using Computer in Slack. All new subscribers also receive extra promotional credits when using Computer in Slack. Add to your Slack workspace here.

Computer sandbox network security admin controls: New advanced security controls for enterprise administrators to configure internet access in Computer sandboxes. Access these settings in the Computer Configuration tab in Settings.

Multimodality & Asset Generation in Deep Research

Perplexity Deep Research and Pro Search now support creating presentations, spreadsheets, dashboards, websites, and other structured outputs directly within the product, bringing research and creation into a single workflow.

With multi-step reasoning across hundreds of sources, Perplexity already helps users synthesize complex topics in depth. Now, that same research can be turned into usable deliverables users can immediately put to work.

This is the next milestone for deep research agents: not just generating insight, but turning that insight into something tangible and actionable in the same flow.

In Pro Search or Deep Research mode, users can simply prompt, for example, “Create a presentation analyzing the AI agent market.” Rather than stitching together research, synthesis, formatting, and presentation across multiple tools, Perplexity brings the full workflow into one place.

Example Use Case: Create a presentation analyzing the AI agent market

Health Computer

Perplexity Health is now rolling out to Perplexity Pro and Max subscribers. You can securely connect all your health data sources in one place, including medical records from over 1M providers, as well as your favorite apps and devices like Fitbit, Google Fit, Cronometer, Clue, and more.

These connectors are deeply integrated into Perplexity Computer, so you can go beyond just viewing data. You can ask questions, uncover trends, and even take action by building agents that analyze your health data, generate personalized plans, and help you reach specific goals—whether that’s managing chronic conditions, improving sleep, or optimizing fitness.

Try asking Computer to:

  • Summarize my health data over the past 3 months and highlight any trends I should pay attention to.
  • Explain my latest blood panel and tell me what’s improving or getting worse over time.
  • Build me a custom dashboard to track my marathon training and highlight areas of improvement.
  • Track my glucose and activity trends and suggest ways to better manage type 2 diabetes.

Finance Computer

Finance Computer lets you do your best financial research.

Perplexity Computer has 40+ finance tool calls that work out of the box, with no setup or authentication required. These tools pull data from authoritative sources: SEC filings, earnings call transcripts, FactSet consensus estimates, stock exchanges like NASDAQ and NYSE, Coinbase, and more.

You can now also securely connect your personal portfolio through Plaid.

Ask Computer to do things like:

  • Create a 5-year DCF for Nvidia, outputted as both a spreadsheet and a slide deck
  • Pull public comps for a private company
  • Create a tool that lets me search earnings call transcripts for keywords
  • Create a terminal-style dashboard that visualizes my portfolio
