I gave Perplexity's agentic AI 5 complex tasks to run on my Mac - and I'll do it again
TL;DR
Perplexity's Mac app offers its own agentic AI, Personal Computer, which can handle multi-step tasks on your computer from start to finish. See why the results impressed me.

Nauti's Take
Agents that run multi-step tasks directly on the Mac are a real step up from chat, because tedious click-throughs finally become delegable. What stays open: which actions run locally, which data reaches the vendor, and one review says little about long runs, logins, and failure cases.
Small teams get the most out of a pilot on low-stakes workflows before handing over file and account permissions.
