1] Perplexity Progressive Web App
In layman’s terms, a progressive web app is a website converted into an app on your PC or smartphone that offers additional features. However, in the case of Perplexity AI’s Progressive Web App, there are none. You get the same features, the same login, and everything exactly the same. One thing it allows you to do is not have to open your browser to access Perplexity AI, and that’s all.
- To install the Perplexity AI Progressive Web App, visit Perplexity.AI on any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge, or Opera).
- Now, in the address bar, you will see an Install Progressive Web App icon (Usually a laptop with a downward arrow icon). Click on it.
- In the popup that appears, press the Install button. This will install the app and create a shortcut for your desktop.
You can pin the Perplexity AI icon to the Taskbar and Windows Start menu for ease of access.
