Meet Perplexity Computer – your always-on digital co-worker that can plan, execute, and manage entire workflows across the apps and tools you already use.
Perplexity Computer is a general-purpose AI worker that doesn’t just chat, it actually does the work: it breaks your goals into tasks and subtasks, spins up specialized sub-agents, and runs them in parallel for hours or even months until the job is done. It can handle web research, document drafting, data processing, and API calls to your connected services while you focus on higher-level decisions. Every task runs in an isolated compute environment with a real filesystem, real browser, and real tool integrations, so it can reliably search, build, code, and deliver end-to-end results.
Behind the scenes, Perplexity Computer orchestrates multiple top AI models instead of relying on just one, intelligently routing each step of the workflow to the best model for that job. It uses a powerful core reasoning engine and then delegates subtasks to specialized models for deep research, images, video, speed, and long-context recall, giving you accuracy, flexibility, and control over token budgets and model choice. As models evolve, Perplexity Computer stays model-agnostic so you always benefit from the latest capabilities without reconfiguring your stack.
Inspired by the original meaning of “computer” as a person who autonomously divided and completed complex calculations, Perplexity Computer brings that same idea into modern AI: a system that can coordinate powerful models across tasks, tools, and time with accuracy as a core requirement. It’s available to Perplexity Max subscribers and built on the same foundations as Comet, the AI-native browser, and Comet Assistant, extending Perplexity’s mission to power the world’s curiosity from fast answers to full, actionable workflows.
