Perplexity introduces Automations in Perplexity Computer: built for ongoing work, they take action in response to event-based triggers or on a schedule, and work with your memory, skills, and connected apps like Slack, Gmail, Outlook and Linear. Agent products are moving from one-shot Q&A to resident automation - the trigger + memory + connected-apps combination is another step from tool toward coworker, competing with consumer agent products like Manus Cue.
