Computer can build animated websites with WebGL shaders and scroll animations using @viktoroddy’s MotionSites skill. The skill draws on 40 reference blueprints and 52 hosted video and cutout assets. Available now in Computer for all users on the web.

Computer built a playable 3D version of Hnefatafl, the Norse strategy game, in Standard effort mode. An AI opponent powered by Perplexity’s Decisions API shows its planned moves and the probabilities it assigns to each choice.

Computer built a 2:36 underwater horror film rendered entirely in ASCII characters. Computer created this film on High effort mode, using a shader to turn each cell of a 3D ocean scene into type, with sparse punctuation in the dark and dense letters in the light, redrawn and recolored every frame. Even the cracks in the submarine window are characters.

Computer built an interactive globe of Earth's 4.5 billion years from 14 open datasets, with its own engine moving 258 plates across 109 paleo-elevation maps. Drag the timeline, or type a city to see where it sat 400 million years ago. deeptime.pplx.app/

Computer made a 5:51 explainer on how lab diamonds are made. It explores the science and economics of lab-grown diamonds, from high-pressure presses and plasma reactors to color correction, collapsing prices, and the tests that distinguish them from mined stones.

Computer built an unofficial GTA VI map pairing Leonida landmarks with Florida locations identified by fans. Compare both maps side by side, then explore an approximation of Leonida in 3D. Try it: leonida.pplx.app

Computer built Pathways, a corridor tiled floor to ceiling with 821 images across 40 subjects from open collections including NASA and the Met. Click any moving tile to read what it is, who made it and when, with a link to its source record. Try it: pathways.pplx.app/

Computer turned a shoulder MRI report into an interactive 3D explainer a patient can read. From one anonymized radiology report, it placed all nine findings on a skeletal model, with six X-ray projections and a plain-language explanation of each.

Computer's Mac and Windows apps now work in your own Chrome. The new Perplexity extension links the two, so Computer uses sites you're already signed into. Here, it turns a business's reviews into a prioritized list of fixes and replies. Live now for all Computer users in the Mac and Windows apps. Get it: chromewebstore.google.com/de…

The UNBROKER skill by @SHL0MS, now in Computer's skills marketplace, finds a person's listings on data-broker sites and drafts opt-out requests. Each request waits for approval before sending. Tasks that use /unbroker are free through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user.

The Teardown skill by @jakubkrehel, now in Computer's skills marketplace, draws an exploded view or cutaway of an object, parts labeled. Drawings are interactive and export to SVG, PNG or PDF. Tasks that use /teardown are free through November 6, up to 5,000 credits per user.

Computer made a 3:45 explainer on what Apple and Foxconn changed beneath the iPhone Duo's folding screen to build it at scale. It follows one problem in that layer, from how it is measured to how it is corrected, mixing product footage and reporting with illustration.

We’ve updated voice mode in Perplexity. Work across multiple Computer sessions at once, start new tasks, and create and manage Projects in one voice session. It runs on OpenAI’s gpt-live-1. Available now on the Mac app and web for all Pro and Max subscribers.

Computer built a futures research lab that keeps working after the task ends. In historical backtests it developed 604 strategies with win rates of at least 60% and positive returns after costs. An automation checks for new gold, Nasdaq-100, and S&P 500 data every 30 minutes.

Computer can now hold follow-up messages until the current turn ends. Turn on Queue follow-ups in settings. A held message can be edited, deleted, or steered into the running turn. Here, it researches offsite venues while requests for a budget and marketing materials wait.

Computer built a benchmark for the mathematical card trick Scott Wu performed on Cheeky Pint, where he makes a target four-digit number from nine cards using only +, -, ×, ÷. Computer ran 17 AI models on 10,000 problems from 1,000 random deals, giving every model the same prompt on low-reasoning effort with one attempt and no code or calculator tools, and verified all 122,032 answers itself. Claude Opus 5.5 won at 98.7% correct, with a median of 7 seconds per answer.

The HyperFrames skill by @HeyGen, now in Computer's skills marketplace, turns a description of a video into a finished MP4. Each scene is HTML, so a copy change is one more request. Tasks that use /hyperframes are free through October 31, up to 5,000 credits per user.
