Perplexity brings its Personal Computer AI assistant to Mac
TL;DR
Perplexity has launched Personal Computer for Mac, a suite of computer use agents built on multi-model orchestration. It can work with your files, apps, and the web to complete complex workflows. The tool competes with Claude Cowork and OpenAI Codex in the agentic computing space.
Nauti's Take
Perplexity Personal Computer is one of the first serious attempts to bring computer-use agents out of the lab and into everyday workflows — the potential for power users is real. At the same time, an AI with access to your files, apps, and messages is a genuine security risk worth taking seriously.
Early adopters should audit permissions carefully; privacy-conscious users should approach with caution.
