It turns powerful Macs into private personal operating systems, though it recommends 36 GB or more of RAM.
Perplexity just launched Portable Computer on Windows, bringing its multi-step agent to NVIDIA GeForce RTX PCs and RTX PRO workstations with 24GB+ VRAM. It runs models like Qwen 3.8 27B entirely on-device, letting you analyze files and connect to tools like Slack and GitHub without leaking data or burning cloud credits.
Perplexity just plugged its Computer agent platform into more than 20 licensed finance data sources, including Dun & Bradstreet, Guidepoint, and IBISWorld. Finance teams can now query their existing paid subscriptions in plain English without juggling separate logins, with every figure linked directly to its source record. It cuts out the tedious copy-paste across terminal windows for high-stakes research.
Perplexity just launched Computer in Email, letting users trigger agent workflows simply by emailing, forwarding, or cc'ing computer@perplexity.com. It reads threads and attachments, keeps your memory and permissions intact, and replies with deliverables like Excel models and PDFs. Why it matters: you can now delegate heavy knowledge work without switching tabs.
Perplexity just launched Computer for Builders, a tool suite built for solo founders and small engineering teams. Powered by an orchestrator of 15+ frontier AI models, it hooks directly into GitHub, Datadog, Stripe, Supabase, and Slack to handle everything from writing code and shipping PRs to tracking revenue and delivering Monday growth summaries. Pro and Max subscribers can access it today.
Perplexity just launched Computer for Counsel, a legal workspace powered by 20+ frontier AI models that links research databases, contracts, and case files directly to Perplexity Computer. It integrates sources like Midpage for case law, plugs into Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and automates contract triage. It is available to Enterprise and Max subscribers.
Perplexity just integrated Deep Research into its Computer workspace, turning complex web research directly into finished PDFs, dashboards, and decks. Powered by a new "Search as Code" architecture, the model writes custom programs to run thousands of parallel search steps, pulling from internal files and premium sources like Statista and PitchBook.

Perplexity just launched a Snowflake App Connector for its Computer platform, letting employees query enterprise databases in plain language without writing SQL.

Available now for Pro, Max, and Enterprise users, it brings Perplexity's own internal Slackbot workflow to all teams.
Perplexity just broke down the security architecture behind Perplexity Computer, its autonomous agent that executes code and browses the web.

It addresses the biggest hurdle to enterprise agent adoption: preventing rogue actions and untrusted data leaks.
Perplexity just launched Computer for Professional Finance, a specialized tool built for research, analysis, and investment workflows.

Perplexity just launched Personal Computer for Mac, bringing its multi-model AI orchestration directly to your local machine. It can manage your to-do lists, organize folders, and complete tasks across native apps, local files, and the web. Actions run in a secure sandbox and can be triggered by pressing both CMD keys.
Perplexity just expanded its Plaid integration, letting users securely connect bank accounts, credit cards, and loans on desktop. The read-only sync never touches Perplexity servers, allowing Perplexity Computer to build custom net worth trackers and debt payoff plans via plain English. It is currently live for US and Canadian users, with advanced tools reserved for Pro and Max subscribers.
Perplexity just rolled out Computer for Taxes inside its Perplexity Computer platform. Built on the Agent Skills protocol, it loads modular tax knowledge grounded in IRS rules to draft federal returns on official forms and audit professionally prepared filings. Internal tests even caught a 67% deduction understatement by an attorney under 2025 overtime rules.
Perplexity just launched its AI agent orchestrator Computer as a Slack integration, available now in the Slack Marketplace. Teams can tag @Computer in channels or send direct messages to research the web, analyze data, and build apps without leaving their workflow. Tasks and context stay synced between Slack threads and the Perplexity web platform.
Perplexity just launched Perplexity Health, a new feature linking electronic medical records from 1.7 million providers with wearables like Apple Health and Fitbit. Instead of generic web results, answers combine your clinical history and lab work with peer-reviewed medical citations. Health data is encrypted and won't train models, rolling out first to U.S. Pro and Max users.
Perplexity just integrated NVIDIA’s Nemotron 3 Super across its entire product suite, rolling it out to the main app, Agent API, and Perplexity Computer. The addition gives both search users and developers building automated agent workflows immediate access to NVIDIA's high-performance model alongside existing options.
Perplexity just introduced Skills for Perplexity Computer, allowing the AI agent to learn actions once and reuse them across future tasks. Instead of repeating identical steps each time, the system stores workflows as reusable capabilities and applies them automatically. It essentially turns one-off demonstrations into persistent automation.
Perplexity just introduced Perplexity Computer, an end-to-end AI system designed to handle complex, multi-step workflows. Instead of just answering search queries, the system unifies current AI capabilities to autonomously research, design, code, deploy, and manage projects from start to finish. It marks a clear shift from conversational search into full-fledged agentic AI.
