All files are auto-saved in a downloadable “Assets” folder.
Goes beyond just answering questions—actually builds working tools.
Why it matters: Labs turns Perplexity into more than a search engine. It’s now a powerful productivity tool that helps users go from research to real output—challenging platforms like Notion, Tableau, and even Google Workspace.

The AI Daily: Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years and urged leaders to stop downplaying the risks.
Key details:
Unemployment could spike 10-20% in next five years as AI advances rapidly.
Entry-level roles in tech, finance, law, and consulting face highest elimination risk.
Big Tech new grad hiring already down 50% from pre-pandemic levels.
Companies now hire one experienced worker with AI tools instead of multiple juniors.
Most leaders remain unaware of coming workforce disruption despite rapid AI development.
Why it matters: This is one of the clearest alerts yet from an AI leader about the near-term impact on jobs. As AI replaces junior roles, the shift is moving from slow automation to quick cuts—and most companies aren’t ready for what’s coming.
