Perplexity Personal Computer
The word "computer" used to mean a person who did calculations. Then it was a room-sized machine, then something on a desk, then a phone in your pocket. Perplexity's Personal Computer is the next iteration. Running on any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, it operates as a persistent AI agent across your local files, native apps, and the web, handling multi-step workflows without you having to operate as the throughline. Double-tap Command to open the Command Bar and hand it a task: draft a client proposal by pulling from three local documents, sort your downloads folder, cross-reference your Calendar with flight times for your upcoming Patagonia trip, or surface trail permit info while it drafts a packing list from your notes. Pair it with a Mac mini and it runs 24/7 in the background, working while you're away. Start a task from your iPhone, go for a drive down PCH, and come back to find it already done.
