The New Stack reports on Perplexity's agent orchestration, which lets its AI agents continue running tasks in the background after a user closes the browser tab. Why it matters: Long-running background agents let users hand off bigger jobs without keeping a session open. Original post on X

Users who give Perplexity's agents larger tasks would no longer need to keep a browser session open while the work runs. Teams building on or evaluating agent tools may want to watch how this background capability is rolled out. The source is a short description, so scope and reliability should be checked against the full New Stack report.

Teams using AI at work may want to compare this against current productivity and review workflows.
