Frontier AI models are getting smarter. The best are becoming so capable that the products built around them are a bottleneck for showing their true potential. And as every new model specializes more, only Perplexity can unify all of the top capabilities into a single system for the most powerful use of AI yet.
Today we're introducing Perplexity Computer.
Perplexity Computer unifies every current AI capability into a single system. Computer is a general-purpose digital worker that operates the same interfaces you do. It is the next evolution of AI. Chat interfaces have answers, while agents can do tasks. Perplexity Computer is a system that creates and executes entire workflows, capable of running for hours or even months.How it worksHow it works
Perplexity Computer operates the software stack just like a human co-worker would: by using it. Computer reasons, delegates, searches, builds, remembers, codes, and delivers.
Start by describing an outcome. Perplexity Computer breaks it into tasks and subtasks, creating sub-agents for execution. The sub-agents might do web research, document generation, data processing, or API calls to your connected services. A document is drafted by one agent while another gathers the data it needs.
The coordination is automatic, and the work is asynchronous. You can focus on other things, or run dozens of Perplexity Computers in parallel.
When Computer runs into a problem, it creates sub-agents to solve it. It can find API keys, research supplemental information, code apps if necessary, and check in if it truly needs you. Every task runs in an isolated compute environment with access to a real filesystem, a real browser, and real tool integrations.
The result is a safe harness for powerful AI, universally accessible without localized setup, and delivering the best work of every current top AI model.

This is precisely what I need. A robot who speaks robot so I don't have to.
Okay, this is wild. Feels like AI is finally moving past just giving answers in chat — now it’s actually doing complex workflows like a real digital teammate. Curious to see how reliable it is over longer tasks, but the potential here is huge.
