Imagine it, build it. It's shocking how simple it is to build complex workflows with this. Things this has already done for me: - Daily sentiment analysis on my products - Regular podcasts on the most important AI news - Prototyping new ideas All with very short prompts!

where's perplexity? oh... just shipping APIs that power billion+ samsung devices. phone and (now) web

@cleondesigns @scspeier @Linds_Kado Yea for sure. I've been eng on the other side of this in the past :-) Products are always built organically in code, what ships is the reality, now that designers can actually code they can bend what ships back to the desired outcome when the eng didn't quite get it right.

@ikhare @scspeier @Linds_Kado great qn! PRs might drift from the original design, for many reasons. When the drift is not intentional, what then should be the source of truth? this isn't a new issue; eng teams have been building on git for ages. is that why some still rely on tech docs as source of truth?

Over the past two months, my most impactful move as a design manager has been encouraging and supporting every designer to start building with Claude Code. Designers used to create a “source of truth” in Figma which was used for QA and accountability.. if anything was wrong, you’d point to the designs and say, “This is how it’s supposed to look.” The designers would take this artifact hand it off to engineers to build another “source of truth” on GitHub that would become the repo where other engineers can fork and build on top of. Now — the designer creates the source of truth on GitHub, and it’s closer to “the designs” because it is the designs. Less gets lost in translation, and everyone speaks in code. Figma remains useful for napkin sketches and quick visual experiments, but we are clearly moving beyond Figma as the primary document. The hardest part is getting set up—it’s daunting and scary leaving the things you love behind. People just need a little bit of emotional support to get started. But after taking the leap, everyone is feeling empowered and excited. They are all literally 10x’ing their productivity. The worst part is that engineers are a bit overwhelmed because they have way more PR’s to review.

@cleondesigns @scspeier @Linds_Kado What do you mean by design doc here? In this world, the code or PR becomes the source of truth. If the PR evolves it's design meeting reality and becoming the embodiment of the idea.

@scspeier @Linds_Kado Does that mean designers will have to review PRs that touch any UI, since they are now the keepers of the source of truth? I’m doing the same with my design team in my org. Biggest struggle now is the lack of design doc, since we just build via PRs and PRs are subject to change.

@AnuragTechaisle @perplexity_ai @AravSrinivas Thanks for flagging. We're looking.

The new installation process for @perplexity_ai Comet is really shitty. Have not been able to install it on a new PC. @AravSrinivas

Even though I no longer work at @convex it pains me every time a see a bug in a product that basically wouldn’t exist if it was built on Convex.

@ikhare just got the comet update, new groups look and link/settings dropdown is absolutely fire, thank you 💫

@theobharvey Excellent! Glad you love it!

this is your sign to try Perplexity Computer on Slack anon

Today we're launching Comet Enterprise. Now, the most powerful AI browser is available to enterprise teams. Research, automate tasks, and get work done without leaving the browser.

Time for another Snow Leopard moment at Apple. macOS Tahoe is nearly unusable.

“Focus on what makes your beer taste better”

@MotoGuy19 @perplexity_ai I use both!

@perplexity_ai Do I use the Perplexity app or Comet?

Comet is now available for iOS. Download on the App Store: apps.apple.com/us/app/comet-a…

Hey! 👋 A couple of months ago, I started working with @perplexity_ai as a contract iOS Design Engineer. My first project was building onboarding for the new @comet iOS browser from scratch. (99.9% SwiftUI, by the way.) I got to work with @annuskabarta, @scspeier, and members of the iOS engineering team to make something special. Here’s a preview of the full experience, followed by a breakdown.👇🧵 [1/13]

Google is the default search engine on Comet iOS (unlike on Comet desktop): Most mobile browser searches are around navigating to restaurant or local shops, checking scores, shopping, hotels. Google does a much better job here than anyone else in the world, including Perplexity.

Really excited to have this out! Comet is now on: Mac, Windows, iOS, Android.

omg omg omg

@denisyarats Perplexity said we want all the power and none of the trust issues. Rare combo🍪

Ai is out of control 😂

and now you can see them all in one place... 1. Track trending tweets 2. Run a model council 3. Log key insights from podcasts you love 4. Annotate quotes from "old books" with @perplexity_ai Computer

I'm in awe of our creative team right now
