What Can Perplexity Labs Create?

Perplexity Labs functions as a productivity tool capable of generating a variety of project components. Users can utilize it to produce:

• Reports: Comprehensive documents based on research and analysis.
• Spreadsheets: Organized data in tabular format.
• Dashboards: Visual representations of data and key metrics.
• Simple Web Applications: Basic functional web-based tools.

The outputs generated by Labs are intended to be complete projects with multiple integrated components, all supported by underlying research and data analysis conducted by the tool.

How Labs Differs from Standard Perplexity Search

While standard Perplexity search focuses on providing answers and information in response to queries, Perplexity Labs takes a different approach. Instead of just delivering information, Labs is geared towards creating complete projects. This means it doesn't just find information; it uses that information to build out the requested reports, applications, or other specified outputs.

Key Features and Functionality

To accomplish its tasks, Perplexity Labs employs several advanced features:

• Deep Web Browsing: It can access and process information from a wide range of online sources beyond surface-level web content.
• Code Execution: The tool can run code, which is essential for creating applications and performing certain types of data analysis or manipulation.
• Chart and Image Creation: For reports and dashboards, Labs can generate visual elements like charts and images to represent data effectively.

These capabilities allow Labs to handle more intricate requests that require multiple steps and the integration of different types of information and processes.

Access and Usage for Pro Subscribers

Perplexity Labs is available to Perplexity Pro subscribers. Each Pro user is allocated 50 Labs queries per month. This quota allows for a significant number of projects or project components to be generated.

All files and assets created through Perplexity Labs are automatically organized and stored within an "Assets" tab in the user's Perplexity account. This provides a centralized location for users to easily access, review, and download their generated projects and files.
