Everything is Computer
Blog post from Perplexity
Perplexity has expanded its AI “Computer” platform with products for individuals, enterprises, developers, and financial research, positioning it as a system that can understand goals, access tools and data, execute multistep tasks, and continue work asynchronously. Personal Computer runs on a dedicated Mac mini connected to local applications and Perplexity servers, with approval requirements for sensitive actions, audit trails, and a kill switch, while Computer for Enterprise integrates with services such as Snowflake, Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Codex, and Claude to query data, automate workflows, and support customized skills within security controls including SOC 2 Type II, SAML SSO, sandboxes, and audit logs. Comet Enterprise adds managed AI-browser capabilities with administrative permissions, activity logs, MDM deployment, browser policies, and CrowdStrike security features. The company also introduced Search, Agent, Embeddings, and Sandbox APIs, which offer retrieval, agentic task execution, relevance tools, and controlled execution environments. Expanded research capabilities include cited access to selected Statista, CB Insights, and PitchBook sources, alongside enhanced Perplexity Finance tools that draw from sources such as SEC filings, FactSet, Coinbase, Quartr, Plaid-linked brokerage accounts, and Polymarket to produce traceable market analysis, dashboards, models, and applications.
