Perplexity has released its Personal Computer feature for Windows, extending its agentic AI capabilities to Windows 10 and Windows 11 users. This AI agent is designed to automate complex, multi-step tasks on a computer with minimal user interaction.
To use Personal Computer on Windows, users must have a paid Perplexity subscription (Pro, Max, or Enterprise) and install the latest Perplexity app for Windows. The application can be downloaded from the Perplexity Downloads page or the Microsoft Store.
Once installed, the Perplexity app can interact with local files, utilize any native Windows application, and connect to cloud-based services such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, and Dropbox.
Users can submit tasks to the AI by typing or speaking their requests. The voice mode allows for conversational interaction to clarify tasks before execution. Initial setup involves enabling local file access and optionally adding connectors for third-party cloud services through the app's customization options.
When submitting a task, users select the 'Computer' button and can choose from various AI models, with a default option recommended for most tasks.
