Turn Ideas Into Dashboards, Reports & Apps

AI Is Now Your Teammate, Not Just a Tool — Here’s What That Looks Like

The frontier of AI is no longer about passive assistance—it’s about active collaboration. Perplexity Labs redefines what’s possible by letting you build full-fledged reports, dashboards, even web apps in minutes. It acts like a hands-on project team, blending research, code execution, and design into one seamless workflow.

Meanwhile, voice AI is evolving fast. Hume’s EVI 3 delivers emotionally intelligent conversations that adapt to your tone, intent, and personality in real time. Whether you're building support systems or storytelling experiences, it makes every interaction sound—and feel—human.

And for those complex, logic-heavy challenges? Black Forest Labs’ FLUX.1 Kontext leads the way with lightning-fast, multi-modal image generation and editing. It merges visual creativity with speed and precision, perfect for iterative design and consistent character workflows.

Together, these breakthroughs show that AI is no longer just responding—it’s co-creating, performing, and bringing your ideas to life with a level of intelligence and empathy that once felt like science fiction. Now, it’s just your new normal.

Perplexity Labs: Instantly Bring Your Projects to Life

Perplexity Labs is a new feature available to Pro subscribers that lets you quickly turn your ideas and projects into reality by automating complex tasks like creating reports, spreadsheets, dashboards, and even simple web apps—all backed by deep research and analysis. Unlike Perplexity’s traditional Search or Research modes, Labs acts like a virtual project team, using tools like code execution, chart and image creation, and deep web browsing to handle multi-step workflows that once took days, now in about 10 minutes. You can easily manage and download all generated files in the Assets tab, and even build interactive mini apps within your project. Labs is ideal for anyone wanting to move from curiosity to action, whether you’re planning a marketing campaign, analyzing finances, or organizing your week, and can be accessed from the mode selector on the Perplexity website and mobile apps.

EVI 3: A New Benchmark Beyond GPT-4o

Hume has launched EVI 3, its third-generation speech-language model designed to deliver highly expressive, emotionally intelligent, and fully personalized voice AI experiences. EVI 3 can generate natural, humanlike speech in any voice or personality you describe, instantly adapting its emotional tone and style on command, and outperforms leading models like GPT-4o in empathy, expressiveness, naturalness, and response speed. Users can interact with EVI 3 through a live demo or Hume’s iOS app, with API access coming soon; the model already supports English and will soon expand to other major languages. EVI 3 is built for a wide range of applications—from customer support to creative storytelling—and stands out for its ability to understand and express nuanced emotions, respond quickly, and allow real-time voice customization, making conversations with AI feel more lifelike than ever.

FLUX.1 Kontext Launch

Black Forest Labs has introduced FLUX.1 Kontext, a new suite of generative models that enable users to generate and edit images using both text and image prompts, offering advanced features like character consistency, local editing, and style transfer at speeds up to eight times faster than leading competitors. The system supports iterative, step-by-step modifications with minimal latency, making it ideal for creative workflows, and is available in versions like FLUX.1 Kontext [pro] for fast, consistent editing and FLUX.1 Kontext [max] for improved prompt adherence and typography; however, extended multi-turn edits may introduce visual artifacts, and the model's world knowledge is limited.
