Introducing Perplexity Computer

Perplexity has introduced Perplexity Computer, a general-purpose AI system designed to execute complex, long-running workflows by operating software, browsers, filesystems, APIs, and connected services in ways similar to a human worker. Users describe a desired outcome, after which the system divides work into tasks and sub-agents that can conduct research, create documents, process data, write code, generate media, and resolve problems asynchronously in isolated computing environments. The product builds on Perplexity’s prior work in search, deep research, persistent memory, tasks, and its Comet AI-native browser, while emphasizing a model-agnostic approach that combines specialized frontier models rather than relying on one provider. At launch, it uses Opus 4.6 for core reasoning and can assign models including Gemini, Nano Banana, Veo 3.1, Grok, and ChatGPT 5.2 to particular functions, with users able to select models for subtasks. Perplexity presents the platform as an evolution from chat-based answers and individual agents toward an orchestrated AI “computer” capable of coordinating tools and models over extended periods, initially available to Perplexity Max subscribers and planned for Enterprise Max users.
