Forget just searching for answers—what if your AI could build the whole solution for you?
We’ve seen AI evolve from giving search results to crafting smart conversations. But now, it’s taking the next leap: actually doing the work.
Introducing Perplexity Labs—an intelligent productivity engine that doesn’t just stop at curiosity, it converts it into creation. Whether you’re a researcher, entrepreneur, developer, marketer, or just a nerd (like us at Beardy Nerd), this tool is designed to make your “What ifs” a working reality.
Let’s unpack what this means for the future of work, tech, and problem-solving.
From Search to Creation: The Leap Forward
Until now, most AI tools helped you think. Perplexity Labs helps you do.
Built on top of Perplexity AI’s acclaimed research engine, Labs adds a layer of executable intelligence. It uses deep web search, code execution, data visualization, and even app building—to convert an idea into a deployable project in minutes.
We’re no longer in the age of “ask and get an answer.” We’re entering the age of “ask and get the output.”
What Can Perplexity Labs Actually Do?
Here’s what sets it apart:
Code Execution and Report Generation
Need a spreadsheet from raw data? A marketing dashboard? Or even a Python-based visualization? Just prompt it. Labs writes the code, executes it, and gives you ready-to-use files.
Asset Management on Autopilot
Every image, CSV, chart, or code snippet is stored under the Assets tab—perfect for projects that evolve over time or need team collaboration.
Mini App Builder
Want a live calculator, slideshow, or a dynamic dashboard without hiring a developer? Labs lets you generate and host micro web apps inside your project. Your MVP, ready before your coffee cools.
Labs vs. Research Mode: What’s the Difference?
Use Research for fast, detailed answers—like drafting insights or summarizing reports.
Use Labs for action-based projects—like building a spreadsheet, creating code, or spinning up a tool.
Think of it this way:
Research is your smart intern.
Labs is your product manager, developer, and analyst—combined.
Optimized for Everyone, Everywhere
Perplexity Labs isn’t just smart—it’s discoverable.
Whether you’re Googling, talking to Siri, querying via ChatGPT, or asking your smart assistant, Labs’ projects are structured and surfaced to appear across:
- Search engines (SEO)
- Voice assistants (GEO)
- AI agents and chatbots (LLMO)
This means higher visibility, faster response, and greater accessibility across platforms.
