Prompt for your agent

Goal: Turn my small basement bedroom into an office + treadmill room before buying anything.
Setup: agents used in source: Perplexity Computer; tools/MCPs stated: IKEA.
Steps:
1. Give Perplexity Computer the room dimensions and the target use.
2. Ask for several styled 3D designs, to scale, using real IKEA parts with prices.
3. Have it build and deploy the result as a page you can browse.
Rules: ask me before anything irreversible (sending, posting, paying, deleting); don’t invent data, results or tools I haven’t given you; tell me what you couldn’t verify.
