Perplexity Computer
Perplexity Computer is an autonomous, general-purpose agentic platform developed by Perplexity AI. Rather than answering single queries, it decomposes goals into structured plans and executes them asynchronously via parallel sub-agents with access to a cloud Linux sandbox, a web browser, and over 400 third-party application connectors. With 'Personal Computer' (macOS) and 'Portable Computer' (Windows/NVIDIA/AMD), tasks can also run locally on user hardware to keep sensitive files on-device.
