So far, Perplexity has the best task scheduling interface (can choose different models, can use external connectors) for tasks that run entirely in the background, cloud-based.

However, unlike ChatGPT, Perplexity doesn't have a browser agent to schedule tasks with a virtual browser.

Claude *badly* needs scheduled tasks + the ability to start a chat, leave the app, and have it finish in the background.

This is especially bad in the iOS app, which stops generation soon after you close it. And it also happens with iOS Safari.
