Perplexity has introduced Perplexity Computer, a cloud-based agentic tool that pulls from 19 different AI models to execute complex research workflows independently. Available exclusively to Perplexity Max subscribers at $200/month, the tool can spin up subagents to tackle specific tasks and deliver finished outputs as websites or data visualizations — handling everything from legal research to financial analysis without manual hand-holding.
The launch reflects a broader strategic shift for Perplexity, which has quietly repositioned itself around enterprise users and high-stakes decision-making rather than raw user growth. Unlike competitors chasing scale, the company is leaning into multi-model orchestration as its core differentiator — automatically routing queries to whichever LLM performs best for a given task. Its own usage data supports the logic: visual queries trend toward Gemini, coding toward Claude, and medical research toward GPT.
