Perplexity rolled out Personal Computer on April 16 to all Max subscribers, making its Mac app a multi-agent orchestrator that can read, write, and search local files, operate iMessage, Mail, Calendar, Finder, Slack, and any native app, and run 24/7 on a Mac mini as a persistent background worker. The system is sandboxed so all actions are auditable and reversible. Access requires the $200/month Max plan; a lighter cloud-only Computer variant remains available at the $20/month Pro tier. Coverage from Engadget notes Perplexity positions it as a "managed team" rather than an unconstrained autonomous agent.
