# Perplexity Personal Computer

> Always-on AI agent software that runs 24/7 on a Mac mini, orchestrating 20 frontier models to automate tasks across local files and cloud apps.

Perplexity Personal Computer is persistent AI agent software that runs continuously on a user-supplied Mac mini, giving AI direct access to local files, desktop apps, and active sessions around the clock. It extends Perplexity Computer, the company's cloud-based multi-model orchestration system, by bridging it with a physical machine that stays powered on and connected. The result is an always-on digital worker that can monitor triggers, execute multi-step workflows, and carry tasks forward while you're away.

Personal Computer operates as a hybrid local-cloud system. The Mac mini serves as the always-on host and local file access layer, while AI reasoning and orchestration happen on Perplexity's cloud servers inside isolated Firecracker VMs. Each task runs in its own sandboxed environment with a dedicated filesystem and browser instance.

- **Multi-Model Orchestration** - Routes tasks across 19-20 frontier AI models including Claude Opus 4.6 as the core reasoning engine, Gemini for deep research, Grok for lightweight speed tasks, and GPT-5.2 for long-context recall, automatically selecting the best model for each subtask
- **Local File and App Access** - Connects directly to files, applications, and sessions on the host Mac, enabling the agent to read, modify, rename, and organize local content without manual intervention
- **Remote Control From Any Device** - Controllable over the internet from any device, so you can issue objectives and check results from a phone, laptop, or tablet while the Mac mini keeps working
- **App Integrations** - Connects to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Salesforce, and other services, allowing it to monitor inboxes, draft replies, sync notes, pull CRM data, and update pipelines across platforms
- **Goal-Oriented Workflow Execution** - Accepts high-level objectives and breaks them into subtasks, delegating each to specialized sub-agents that handle research, document generation, data processing, API calls, and code execution
- **Audit Trail and Kill Switch** - Every action is logged with a full audit trail, sensitive operations require explicit user approval, and a kill switch provides immediate shutdown control
- **Sandboxed Cloud Execution** - Each task runs inside an isolated compute environment on Perplexity's servers with its own filesystem and browser, preventing unintended access across sessions
- **Persistent Long-Running Tasks** - Can run workflows for hours, days, or even months, picking up where it left off and continuing work across sessions without user prompting
- **Comet Assistant Integration** - Works alongside Perplexity's Comet AI-native browser and Comet Assistant for combined local and web-based automation
- **Financial Tools** - Supports brokerage account connections through Plaid for portfolio analytics, pulls prediction market data from Polymarket, and accesses premium financial sources including SEC filings, S&P Global, and Coinbase

Personal Computer requires a Perplexity Max subscription at $200 per month, which includes 10,000 monthly compute credits. Access is currently limited through a waitlist, and the initial rollout is Mac-only. An enterprise version with SOC 2 Type II compliance, SAML single sign-on, and additional security controls has also been announced.
