Your Mac just became an AI worker.
Perplexity just unveiled Personal Computer, an always-on AI system that runs on a dedicated local machine, like a Mac mini, and works across your files, apps, and sessions. The idea is simple. You give it a goal, and it keeps working even when you step away.
It builds on Perplexity Computer, the company’s cloud agent, but adds local access to your machine. That means it can handle longer tasks like research, drafting docs, and moving through multi-step workflows with more context. Sensitive actions still need your approval, every action is logged, and there is a kill switch.
It feels like a step toward AI that acts more like a real operating layer than a chatbot.
Would you trust an AI system that stays on and works through your tasks all day?
