🚨 Perplexity is secretly building an AI coding assistant:

The company appears to be preparing a new product aimed directly at the AI coding market:

• Designed to compete with Claude Code and Codex-style tools • Expected to support multi-file coding tasks • Could combine web research with software development • May include autonomous agent capabilities • No confirmed product name or launch date • Currently believed to be in private development

Perplexity started with search. Now it may be coming for developers too.

If it was good would you switch?
