Hey!

Love the Tasks feature for scheduled automations, but I’d like to suggest “Triggers”—event-driven automations that fire in real-time when news breaks across the entire web, not just scheduled runs.

How it would work:

- Set a Trigger on keywords, topics, or entities (e.g., “Apple Vision Pro 2”, “AI regulation updates”, or “Trump policy changes”).

- Perplexity continuously scans its massive web index and activates when fresh, relevant content emerges.

Example:  
"Trigger on ‘Quantum computing breakthrough’ → Generate TL;DR with quotes and references”
