Perplexity: Everything is Computer

Perplexity has launched Computer for Enterprise, a cloud-based AI orchestration service that connects to tools like Gmail, GitHub, Slack, Salesforce, and Snowflake to automate background tasks using AI models and sub-agents. The company claims it saved internal teams $1.6 million in labor costs over four weeks, though methodology details are absent. Alongside the enterprise offering, Perplexity also launched Personal Computer, a local complement running on a dedicated Mac mini that acts as a persistent digital proxy for individual users, connecting local apps to Perplexity's cloud. The Register notes skepticism about claims like automating due diligence and the adequacy of the stated security measures.
