Congrats on the launch! As a heavy user of Gemini, Claude Opus, and Manus, reading through this immediately gave me strong Manus vibes—and I mean that in the best way possible.
Moving from "answering questions" to "executing multi-step workflows" is exactly what makes agentic tools like Manus so powerful. Seeing Perplexity adopt this "Computer" orchestration approach, especially with SKILL.md portability, is a massiveee step forward.
I'm just worried about the costs a bit. Subscription-based is great, as it allows us power users to outpace standard API costs. But since this routes tasks through various sub-models under the hood, I wonder if it might end up being as pricy or even pricier than Manus. I have my largest non-api costs there right now.
Looking forward to tryint it out. Really exciting
This looks really interesting.
Are the repeatable instructions more like automation workflows or closer to scripting for the computer?
Curious how flexible it is for developers.
