Summary
Perplexity has launched "Personal Computer" for Windows, an AI orchestration layer that runs directly on the user's machine to complete multi-step tasks across local files, native apps, and the web. Unlike most AI agents confined to browser tabs, this system uses a hybrid local-cloud model to act on the machine itself. It is currently available to Max and Enterprise Max subscribers on a waitlist, following its initial Mac release in April.

Most AI agents live in a browser tab and have no access to what's actually on your machine. Personal Computer closes that loop by acting on your machine, not just answering in a chat window.
What makes it worth paying attention to is the hybrid local-cloud model.
