"The company says everyone can download the new Perplexity macOS app and use Personal Computer "for everyday queries, attachments and dictation." Usage is tied to Pro and Max plans' credit limits, Perplexity noted."
"Personal Computer can run tasks across local files, other apps, the web and Perplexity's own servers, according to the company. It taps into a number of models to carry out specific tasks, such as Gemini for deep research, Nano Banana for images and ChatGPT "for long-context recall and wide search.""
"Unlike with similar tools, Personal Computer will handle the bulk of the heavy lifting in the cloud as opposed to running entirely locally, in part to reduce strain on the Mac."
"The company says you can run Personal Computer around the clock on a Mac mini - as some people are doing with OpenClaw - and control it remotely from an iPhone. Perplexity has also noted that the assistant's actions are auditable and reversible, so users might not have to worry too much about it accidentally wiping precious family photos."
Perplexity released a macOS app that brings Personal Computer to all Mac users. The app supports everyday queries, attachments, and dictation, with usage governed by Pro and Max plan credit limits. Personal Computer can perform tasks across local files, other applications, the web, and Perplexity servers. It uses different models for different work, including Gemini for deep research, Nano Banana for images, and ChatGPT for long-context recall and wide search. Most heavy processing happens in the cloud rather than fully on-device to reduce strain on the Mac. The assistant can run continuously on a Mac mini and be controlled remotely from an iPhone. Actions are auditable and reversible to reduce risk of accidental data loss.
