Effort Mode, GPT-6 Astra, and Skills Marketplace
If you or your team use Perplexity's Computer agent, you can now get more powerful task handling via GPT-6 Astra if you're on a Pro or Max plan. The new Skills Marketplace also means you don't have to build automations from scratch: browse ready-made skills for common tasks, and if you're on an enterprise plan, your team can save and reuse your own internal ones instead of everyone reinventing the wheel.
What changed
Source summary
Perplexity's Computer agent now supports GPT-6 Astra for Computer tasks and supporting agents, available to eligible Pro and Max subscribers depending on plan and data-retention eligibility. The changelog also introduces a public Skills Marketplace: anyone can browse reusable Computer skills without signing in, and enterprise teams can discover, install, and share skills within their organisation with admin-controlled approval, with existing organisation skills and installs carrying over automatically.
