Perplexity AI is rapidly expanding its presence in the AI market through strategic integrations and innovative features. The company has launched Perplexity Labs, a new tool for Pro subscribers designed to automate tasks such as creating reports, spreadsheets, and mini web apps. This feature leverages AI research, code execution, and content generation, positioning Perplexity as a versatile platform for both information retrieval and content creation. Labs can generate and execute code for data structuring, create interactive web apps, and produce various file types, making it well-suited for diverse projects from marketing campaigns to business analysis.
The startup is also making strides in device integration. Samsung is reportedly nearing a wide-ranging deal with Perplexity that includes investment and deep integration into devices, the Bixby assistant, and the web browser. This partnership could see Perplexity pre-installed on upcoming Galaxy S26 series phones, potentially replacing Google Gemini as the default AI assistant. The integration might also extend to Samsung Internet, offering users more advanced and personalized AI experiences directly within their web browsing.
Furthermore, Perplexity is enhancing its AI-driven search capabilities within the Comet Browser. Users can now observe Perplexity AI controlling pages in the Comet Browser, with visual indicators showing actions like clicking and filling forms. This new feature allows for more interactive and transparent AI-driven automation, benefiting users who automate repetitive workflows such as data entry and testing. This positions Perplexity as a pioneer in bringing interactive and transparent AI-driven automation to the browser.

OpenAI is reportedly planning to launch specialized AI agents with hefty price tags, ranging from $2,000 to $20,000 per month. These agents are designed to handle complex, high-value tasks for professionals and organizations, targeting high-income knowledge workers, software developers, and researchers. The pricing reflects the immense computational resources, specialized training, and potential for high-value ROI that these agents offer. The move signals a shift towards highly specialized AI services tailored to specific professional needs.
These AI agents are not standard chatbots but are custom-built for specific, high-value tasks. For example, a high-income knowledge worker agent ($2,000/month) could handle complex research, while a software developer agent ($10,000/month) and a PhD-level research agent ($20,000/month) would cater to advanced needs in those respective fields. The high costs are justified by the extensive server infrastructure, massive datasets for training, and the potential for significant savings or revenue increases for businesses.
