Hi Perplexity team and community,
I’m Lester DeBoue, and I’d like to propose an original feature called “Detached Spaces.” This would allow users to create fully standalone, AI-powered mini-apps—each with its own personality, data, and logic—completely isolated from your main Perplexity account and from each other.
What makes Detached Spaces unique?
- Truly Isolated AI Spaces: Each Detached Space is a sandboxed environment with its own memory, rules, and persona—perfect for experimentation, privacy, or niche communities.
- App Store for AI Spaces: Users can publish, share, and remix mini-apps for specific needs (e.g., travel planners, meme generators, D&D bots), fueling viral sharing and creator-driven growth.
- No Cross-Contamination: Each space has zero access to your other threads or data, making it ideal for sensitive projects or anonymous advice bots.
- Customizable Logic and UI: Go beyond custom instructions—let users tweak workflows, add UI elements (buttons, forms), and connect to outside APIs.
- One-Click Sharing & Embedding: Instantly share Spaces as links, QR codes, or embeddable widgets for YouTube, classrooms, or business use.
- Remix & Challenge Potential: “Remix this Space!” and community challenges can drive endless creativity and social engagement.
Why now?
This taps into the rise of no-code tools, micro-apps, and AI personalization, and supports the creator economy. It offers privacy, experimentation, and shareability that current Spaces don’t provide.
Example use cases:
- YouTube: “I built a prank bot in Detached—watch my friends try it!”
- Classrooms: Teachers share a custom quiz bot for each lesson, with no risk of student data overlap.
- Communities: Fans create and trade AI-powered trivia games or meme generators tailored to their group.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions. If you develop or share this idea, please credit Lester DeBoue.
Thanks for considering!
