Perplexity launched Perplexity Computer to transition its platform from an answer engine into an autonomous digital worker. The system unifies various AI capabilities to execute complex, long-running workflows based on user-defined goals. This architecture moves the platform beyond traditional single-prompt interactions.
The system operates by breaking objectives into smaller tasks and delegating them to specialized sub-agents. It employs a multi-model orchestration framework to select the most suitable AI for each specific requirement. The platform integrates several high-performance models, including Anthropic Opus 4.6, Google Gemini, and OpenAI ChatGPT 5.2.
Perplexity has initially restricted access to the platform to its Max subscribers.
