Perplexity has recently announced a new tool “Computer”, which is described as the next evolution of artificial intelligence. The new platform combines all AI capabilities into a single system and is named the most powerful AI yet by Perplexity. It goes beyond simple chatbots and task-based agents to autonomously complete long-running workflows.
Perplexity Computer acts like a digital worker that can plan, analyze, research, help in coding, and even deliver outcomes with less human intervention. The noteworthy point is that it can operate for hours or even months if required. Availability is currently for Max subscribers, with Enterprise Max users coming soon.
How Does Perplexity Computer Work?
The system works by breaking higher-level tasks into smaller subtasks, then assigning them to multiple sub-agents. As stated by Perplexity team, “Users need to start by describing an outcome. The Perplexity Computer breaks into tasks and sub-tasks, creating sub-agents for execution. “The sub-agents can draft documents, interact with APIs, process data, and more.
Coordination occurs automatically and independently, allowing users to run multiple workflows in parallel while focusing on other tasks. Every task runs in an isolated cloud environment with access to a real browser, tool integrations, offering power and safety without local setup.
A Multi-Model Orchestration Platform
The Perplexity Computer uses a multi-model orchestration that routes subtasks to the most suitable AI model. The system currently uses the capabilities of Claude Opus 4.6 as its main reasoning engine, while utilizing Gemini for deep research, Nano Banana for image generation, alongside other AI tools.
The model is agnostic and allows users to choose specific models for performing sub-tasks. With this update, Perplexity is making the computer a safer, well-structured alternative to local agent tools such as Open Claw. Alongside, turn AI into a computer to perform complex tasks.
