Perplexity has launched Computer, an agentic platform that orchestrates 19 AI models across multi-step tasks like research, content creation, and app automation. Built on the open-source OpenClaw framework for browser actions and skills, it improves reliability with sandboxed execution and dynamic model routing.
Computer excels at chaining tools — browsing, API calls, file generation — in secure cloud environments. Early demos show it handling trip planning (site comparisons, bookings), expense report processing, and competitor analysis with 80%+ success on complex workflows, outperforming base OpenClaw on stability
Hands-free wins for regular folks
No coding chops needed. Speak or type commands, and it tackles email triage, social media posts, or even video edits. Privacy stays tight and your data doesn’t phone home unless you say so. Early testers rave about reclaiming hours weekly, from mundane logins to deep research dives.
This isn’t elite tech for coders but it’s the great equaliser, handing desk warriors tools once reserved for Silicon Valley insiders, potentially slashing white-collar drudgery by half.
Open future, boundless tweaks
Totally open-source, Perplexity Computer invites tinkerers to build on it. It adds voice controls, integrates apps, or fixes niche glitches. Benchmarks show it outrunning rivals in completion rates, hitting 80% on complex workflows where others falter.
