filtering to official docs and giving the agent a source-linked brief is the part that actually cuts down on invented methods

Deceptive default to credit-consuming Computer mode in the macOS app In the #Perplexity macOS app and in the browser, new sessions inside Projects default to Computer. Computer consumes credits, while standard Search does not. There is no visible app-wide or Project-level option to make Search the persistent default. This is deceptive design: it preselects the paid/credit-consuming path for ordinary queries, relies on users noticing and manually changing it every time, and creates a foreseeable risk of unintended credit usage, therefore forcing users to top-up their credits more frequently. Please add an app-wide default-mode setting, make Search the initial default, prominently label Computer as credit-consuming, and require confirmation before a user’s first Computer task or unusually expensive task. Please confirm whether this feedback has been passed to the @perplexity_ai product team. Thank you.

Source grounded research makes coding agents much more reliable

linking sources to agents makes their code outputs verifiable and trusted.
