Perplexity has just announced the presence of Perplexity's Personal Computer as the company's answer to OpenClaw and other local AI agents and the service is now available for Mac users via a desktop application.
the Personal Computer from Perplexity is an extension of their service called Perplexity Computer .
Perplexity's Personal Computer itself is a cloud-based AI agent designed to be a versatile "digital worker" capable of performing a wide range of tasks autonomously.
This service not only provides a chatbot, but the AI can access and operate computer displays, create workflows, and even manage files.
The purpose of this application is actually to take advantage of the increasing demand for local AI agents, popularized by OpenClaw, which can perform tasks on behalf of users.
