Unveiled on Thursday, the new offering from Perplexity grants paying subscribers on the 20 (Rs 1,171)-a-month Pro plan) access to a powerful suite of tools capable of generating spreadsheets, dashboards, written reports, and more.
At present, Perplexity Labs is fully functional across web browsers and available on both iOS and Android devices, with native desktop applications for Mac and Windows users expected to arrive in the near future.Perplexity Labs: How does it work? advertisementAt its core, Perplexity Labs allows users to give a simple prompt and watch the platform build a complete project in return. Whether you're creating a financial dashboard, coding an app prototype, or drafting a content calendar, Labs works through your instructions and assembles all the necessary components.
The AI draws from multiple advanced tools, including web search, code execution, data visualisation, and image generation, to carry out multi-step tasks. The system can run for over 10 minutes autonomously, making decisions on your behalf and returning a polished output.For example, a request like 'Build a report on renewable energy investment trends in 2024' would result in a full research report with charts, sourced references, and downloadable content, all generated by the AI in one go. Perplexity Labs: FeaturesPerplexity Labs, the newly launched AI-driven workspace by Perplexity AI, brings a fresh level of sophistication to digital productivity. What sets Labs apart is its capacity to do more than just gather information. It can build interactive web applications, structure complex datasets, apply formulas, and even generate documents, all through intelligent automation.advertisementThroughout the process, every asset created, be it images, charts, code files, or spreadsheets, is neatly stored in a dedicated tab, allowing users to easily preview or download their materials.As Perplexity notes, this expanded toolset allows individuals to deliver a much wider range of project outputs, effectively turning a simple prompt into a fully realised digital deliverable.While the streamlined Research mode (formerly known as Deep Research) continues to offer quick and thorough responses to complex queries, typically delivering results in just 3 to 4 minutes, Perplexity Labs is built for those needing more than just answers. Labs takes a deeper dive, working over a longer timeframe (often ten minutes or more) and tapping into a wider range of capabilities, including the creation of files, charts, and even lightweight web applications.This broader functionality enables users to generate a far more diverse set of outputs tailored to their project needs—be it code, visual assets, structured data, or interactive tools.As part of its evolving product suite, Perplexity has also announced that it is retiring the term 'Deep Research' in favour of simply 'Research.' The updated name better reflects its core position within the platform—bridging the gap between Perplexity's standard Search function and the more hands-on, generative power of Labs.

Businessman files cheating case over unpaid textile dues
Ahmedabad: A Shela resident and businessman filed a complaint of cheating and breach of trust against other traders after they allegedly did not return Rs 30.16 lakh. The traders had purchased goods worth ₹1.44 crore. The crime branch registered a complaint on Friday under IPC 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating), 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant or by banker, merchant), and 114 (abettor present when offence is committed) against three traders from the city. The complainant stated that he was operating a partnership firm in Raipur. In Nov 2023, a trader from Raipur Cloth Market informed him that they conducted a textile business and assured him that any textile purchased by them would be paid for promptly, given their long-standing involvement in the textile business. The three claimed to conduct a large-scale textile business and assured timely payments to their suppliers. "Based on their assurances, we decided to supply them with textiles through our firm. Subsequently, one of the accused visited their shop, where they discussed business terms with us and promised payment within 60 to 90 days. They provided information about their firm with a GST number. We began supplying dress materials according to their purchases, and they initially made timely payments," the complaint mentions. Between Dec 2020 and Feb 2024, they purchased dress materials worth ₹1.45 crore and paid ₹1.15 crore in instalments. However, a balance of ₹30.16 lakh remained unpaid. Despite repeated reminders, they failed to settle the outstanding amount. Despite reminders, they did not pay and continued to delay without making any payment. On Friday, he lodged a complaint with the crime branch.

Goodbye to change: QR code ticket payment on tech zone route buses
1 2 3 Kolkata: The perennial problem over loose change may soon be a thing of the past with several bus owners providing UPI payment options to their passengers. The latest to introduce this system are four buses plying between Barasat and Santragachhi and the Botanic Garden, both of which cater to passengers of Sector V and New Town. They have introduced a digital payment system on buses to address the issue of change, said owners. QR codes are provided inside the buses, allowing passengers to easily pay fares via UPI interface or Google Pay. According to the bus owners, all vehicles on this route will implement the digital payment system in the future if the trials are successful. A total of 38 private buses operate on the Barasat to Howrah Shibpur B Garden route. Bus owners report that conductors face issues due to the lack of change daily. "To obtain change, they have to pay a commission, which costs Rs 150 for Rs 1,500 worth of change, leading to significant expenses. As a result, owners are turning to digital payments as an alternative," said a conductor. One of the owners, Gopal Nandi, operates two buses on the B Garden-Barasat route. A few months ago, he pasted QR code stickers on the buses for digital payments. Another owner, Biltu Das, followed the same path, reducing the hassle for bus staff. Single buses on several other routes — like DN 16/1 (Dhamakhali to Barasat), Mourigram-Salt Lake minibus and 56 (Ruiya Purbapara-Howrah) — had introduced UPI payment in 2023 but the facility was eventually discontinued. "We found that most passengers on our route travel to Sector V, New Town and Rajarhat offices. Most of them prefer not to carry cash, let alone coins. As such, we often get into arguments over payment of fares. Now that we have introduced UPI payment, the conductor just needs to check his phone for confirmation of payment. This also saves time in issuing tickets. However, since not everyone uses cashless mode of payment, the old system will continue," explained a staffer on the Barasat route. The move was welcomed by multiple passengers who even posted the payment method on Kolkata Bus-o-pedia, an FB forum of bus lovers. "I was heading towards Karunamoyee from Exide. I had to pay a fare of Rs 18. But I had a Rs 100 note in my pocket. The conductor asked me for change but I did not have any. Then he simply said that I can pay through UPI. I was amazed to use it," recalled the passenger on FB. "Nice initiative. More buses need to implement this UPI payment system," said Supriyo Nandi. "It was introduced a few years back at Bangalore bus services… In fact, a few days back I paid a Toto through UPI. So why not use it in buses," said another passenger Sandipan Ghosh. Aniket Banerjee, general secretary of Kolkata Bus-o-pedia, said that the system needs to be regimented. "The QR code needs to be framed so that it cannot be misused," he said.
