Summary

Perplexity has introduced Personal Computer in its new macOS app, extending its Computer agent system from cloud-based workflows to local Macs and Mac minis. The tool can autonomously work across local files, native Mac applications, web tools, more than 400 connectors, and Perplexity’s secure server-side development sandbox, while users retain control through approval requests for important actions. Designed for tasks that combine documents, spreadsheets, browser content, notes, and other materials, it can organize project files, compare documents, create drafts and reports, analyze data, and build live dashboards. A Mac mini is presented as an always-on option for continuous agent activity that can be initiated or approved from other Apple devices, while the Comet browser enables web-based operations without direct connectors. The new app is available for download outside the Mac App Store to all users, with Pro and Max subscribers using subscription-linked credits, and it will eventually replace the previous Perplexity Mac app.
