Perplexity launched the ‘Personal Computer’ AI agent, an advanced digital assistant designed to automate everyday productivity tasks. The system operates on a Mac mini and functions as a digital proxy that can research topics, draft emails, prepare daily briefings, and manage files across different applications and devices. It combines local system operations with cloud-based reasoning to handle complex user requests efficiently. The platform also integrates multiple large language models such as Claude, Gemini, and Grok, allowing them to collaborate during task execution. With built-in security safeguards and continuous operation, the AI agent aims to improve productivity by automating routine digital activities.
