Perplexity AI launches shared AI workspaces and Windows app

Perplexity AI has significantly upgraded its Computer platform with features designed to enhance collaboration and productivity. The most notable addition is 'Projects,' a shared workspace that integrates files and uses 'Brain' memory to maintain context across sessions. A new Windows application brings these capabilities to desktop users, while a revamped 'Model Council' mode allows users to route queries to specialized AI models dynamically. Voice conversation improvements further streamline hands-free interactions.

The update also extends Perplexity's Agent API, adding support for Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, which joins existing models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5. This move underscores Perplexity's commitment to providing a versatile, multi-model ecosystem. The combination of shared workspaces, desktop accessibility, and expanded model support positions Perplexity as a serious contender in the AI productivity space, aiming to rival established tools like Notion AI and Microsoft Copilot.
