Perplexity· Updated
Perplexity launched Personal Computer, an always-on AI agent running on a dedicated Mac mini with local access to your files, apps, and sessions — controllable from any device. Every sensitive action requires approval, and every action is logged.
This pairs with Perplexity Computer for a complementary lineup — cloud-based research and browsing goes to Perplexity Computer, locally-grounded execution goes to Personal Computer. Every sensitive action requires your approval, every action is logged, and a kill switch lets you stop execution at any point. Launches on Mac first.
If you want an AI that operates on your actual files and apps — not just web-connected tools — Personal Computer offers a setup where your Mac mini becomes the agent's persistent runtime, with access to local context that cloud-only agents can't reach.
Announcing Personal Computer. Personal Computer is an always on, local merge with Perplexity Computer that works for you 24/7. It's personal, secure, and works across your files, apps, and sessions through a continuously running Mac mini. https://t.co/EpvilVX6XZ
