Perplexity Labs: Create a project from a single prompt
Perplexity AI has introduced Perplexity Labs, a new feature designed to convert your ideas into tangible projects efficiently. Using Perplexity Labs is like having a team of deep web browsing, code execution, and chart and image creation. This tool aims to streamline workflows by automating tasks that traditionally require extensive time and coordination.
How It Works:
- Automated Code Generation: Labs can write and execute code to structure data, apply formulas, and create charts, text documents, or spreadsheets.
- Assets Management: All files generated during a project, such as charts, images, CSVs, and code files, are organized in an “Assets” tab for easy access and download.
- Mini App Development: Labs can develop and deploy simple interactive web apps directly within an “App” tab in your project, facilitating the creation of basic dashboards, slideshows, and websites without external development tools.
To assist users in getting started, Perplexity Labs offers a continuously updated Projects Gallery. This resource showcases a variety of example projects, providing inspiration and templates that users can adapt to their specific needs.
Here are some tasks Perplexity Lab can help you with:
- Financial Analysis: Create a ‘Global Economic Indicator Tracker’ dashboard
- Research: Create a LLM Model Comparison Dashboard
- Creative: Design a futuristic social media platform
- Education: Create an Interactive Pacific Theater Map

Mary Meeker on AI 2025, Meta is restructuring its AI teams, along with more crucial AI stories
Every day, Daan, Wendy, and I read all the AI news so that you don't have to.
Here are the must-read stories of the week:
Mary Meeker 2025 - Trends_Artificial_Intelligence
The "Queen of the Internet" Mary Meeker just dropped her latest AI forecast through her VC firm, Bond Capital. Packed with sharp data, market insights, and bold predictions, this annual report lays out how AI is set to reshape industries, investments, and innovation over the next decade.
Exclusive: Meta shuffles AI team to compete with OpenAI and Google
Meta is dividing its AI research teams to accelerate work on artificial general intelligence (AGI) and further advance its open-source Llama model family.
To Create Value with AI, Improve the Quality of Your Unstructured Data
A new HBR article stresses that most companies struggle to scale AI because their unstructured data, emails, documents, images, is poorly organized, and improving its quality is now a priority for building reliable AI systems.
AI for Strategy, Responsible Adoption, and Prototyping: From the Community
Every day, Lead with AI PRO members discuss practical ways to benefit from AI in their work and organizations. This week's highlights include:
- Has AI Taken Our Jobs or Just Rewritten the Path? The debate was on fire in our community last weekend. Alexandros Lioumbis shared a sobering New York Times article suggesting the A.I. Job Apocalypse may already be here. But Yolanda Yu offered a counterpoint - unemployment trends began long before AI entered the workforce.
- So how do we thrive in this AI-powered future? Daan pointed out that the real risk isn’t just job loss - it’s losing the pathways that grow future leaders. Entry-level roles aren’t just for task execution. They’re where careers begin, team cultures are built, and leadership is cultivated. Antony Slumbers explored this in depth in his latest piece HERE.
- Alex summed it up perfectly: this isn’t just a technology project. It’s a mindset shift. And in this shift, the most valuable skills may be the most human ones. Miriam Gilbert and Carlo Benigni added: strategic, critical, and systems thinking have always mattered but in today’s AI age, they’re nothing short of superpowers.
