Lifehacker published a how-to on June 1, 2026, listing 10 hacks that expand what Perplexity can do beyond simple Q&A, including setting Perplexity as a browser default, using multiple models, and leveraging background processing and mini-apps, according to Lifehacker. The article notes that paid tiers unlock features such as Model Council and Perplexity’s background Perplexity Computer, which enable multi-model cross-checking and longer-running automations, per Lifehacker. Editorial analysis: These capabilities make Perplexity more useful for rapid research, simple automation, and prototype app-building for practitioners who already use LLM-based search.
