Computer adds Automations for ongoing work
Blog post from Perplexity
Perplexity has launched Automations for Computer, enabling long-running agents to perform recurring or event-triggered work while retaining context from previous runs. Replacing Scheduled Tasks, Automations can use connected files, tools, and Projects to handle assignments such as drafting customer replies, tracking competitor prices, monitoring project deadlines, updating decision logs, and preparing engineering pull requests. Users can trigger agents on schedules or through events in Slack, Gmail, Outlook, Linear, and GitHub, with conditions that narrow when an Automation runs. Setup can be done through Computer’s omnibar or the Automations interface, where users define instructions, sources, output destinations, permissions, and actions requiring human approval. Automation histories show triggers, outputs, and status, while administrators can restrict connector access; monitoring for triggers does not consume credits, which are used only when an assignment runs.
