Based on it's findings, usage heavily centered on cognitive work and research over automating simple tasks.
Key findings:
-
Researchers did analyse hundreds of millions of anonymised queries from Perplexity's Comet browser, which launched in July
-
Over half of queries involved research or workflow management, with common tasks including summarisation, document editing, and coursework help
-
Tech workers, academics, marketers, and finance professionals generated the bulk of activity, with adoption correlating to GDP and education levels
-
Behavior shifted over time, with users who started with casual queries like travel planning often migrating toward heavier knowledge work later on
