Perplexity launches Perplexity Computer, “a general-purpose digital worker” that can route work across 19 AI models, available initially for Max subscribers

Claude Code and OpenClaw have taken 2026 by storm by offering the first glimpses of personal AI agents.

    Introducing Perplexity Computer. Computer unifies every current AI capability into one system. It can research, design, code, deploy, and manage any project end-to-end. [video]

    What has Perplexity been up to last two months? We've silently been working on the next big thing: Perplexity Computer. Computer unifies every current capability of AI into a single system. Files, tools, memory, and models, orchestrated together, working for you.

    Perplexity Computer uses usage-based pricing with optional sub-agent model selection and spending caps. Choose different models for different sub-agent tasks and control token spend. Max users get 10,000 credits per month included with their subscription. We're also giving a

    We're opening it initially to all Max users, and introducing usage-based pricing, which we believe is the right business model for AI instead of ads. Once we are satisfied with load tests, Pro users will be able to run jobs on Computer too.

    Perplexity just launched its OpenClaw competitor, and the architecture reveals a fundamentally different bet on how agents should work. Their new product, Computer, coordinates 19 models across rival labs: Claude for orchestration, Gemini for research, GPT-5.2 for long-context,

    Perplexity just became the the first Al company to truly go head-to-head with the Bloomberg Terminal... Using Perplexity Computer (with no local setup or single LLM limitation), it was able to build me a terminal with real-time data to analyze $NVDA using Perplexity Finance: [vid…

    Perplexity Computer is what a personal computer in 2026 should be. It's personal to you, remembers your past work, and is secure by default. Hundreds of connectors, persistent memory, files, and web access, all built on top of Perplexity infrastructure. [video]

    Go from a single task to hundreds of active projects. Clear your to-do list, move active projects forward, or kick off a new side project. Follow our live stream of curated Computer tasks: https://perplexity.ai/... [video]
  • @perplexity_ai @perplexity_ai on x
    Perplexity Computer is massively multi-model. Computer orchestrates models to run agents in parallel, leveraging Opus to match each task to the model best suited for it. In total, Computer can route work across 19 different models. [video]

    Perplexity casually dropping their version of OpenClaw for financial analysis [image]
  • @denisyarats Denis Yarats on x
    one neat feature of Perplexity Computer is that you can prompt to pick your favorite models for subagents, for example: “search about perplexity computer on web. use 3 subagens for this: sonnet, gemini, and gpt. and compare their outputs” [video]
  • @jackfriks Jack Friks on x
    coming for openclaw's throat today
  • @aravsrinivas Aravind Srinivas on x
    The computer is one of the best inventions known to mankind. And when AIs can orchestrate a file system with CLI tools + a browser (real-time internet access) + your personal connectors, AI essentially becomes the Computer, running things on the cloud as you sleep.
  • @denisyarats Denis Yarats on x
    this has been the most exciting project to work on. a lot of foundational infra we've built over time (search engine, browsing cloud, memory engine, and more) all came together in one platform. this was also built by a small group of people and a lot of AI coding agents.

    Perplexity breaking grounds into the Financial sector. Take notice investors. PS: Whoever made this video deserves a raise.
  • @rouk @rouk on x
    did i just watch AI find a clip and edit it down to a short form video?
  • @jeffgrimes9 Jeff Grimes on x
    Computer is the most powerful AI tool I have used. Some recent prompts it's excelled on: - Use the last 4 quarters of mag7 earnings to categorize management answers as direct, evasive, or partial. Create an interactive leaderboard. - Build a 5-year DCF for NVDA. - Build an
  • @cryptopunk7213 @cryptopunk7213 on x
    so we now have: - OpenClaw - perplexity OpenClaw (perplexity computer) - anthropic openclaw (cowork) - miniature openclaw (picoclaw) - secure openclaw (ironclaw) - chinese openclaw (kimi k2.5) - enterprise openclaw (openai frontier) the future is 100% agentic. get the fuck on
  • @boringbiz_ @boringbiz_ on x
    This is actually incredible. The first wave of AI was chatbots But 2026 feels like a material step towards actual agentic workflow where AI takes over a process end to end Imagine every hedge fund and private equity firm is probably considering downsizing their analyst and
  • @alexgraveley Alex Graveley on x
    Made a new thing - I hope you'll give it a try!

    What the fuck did I just watch?

    This seems insanely useful in many ways Claude Cowork has competition

    Perplexity computer was definitely not on my bingo card
  • @shiri_shh Shirish on x
    “babe wake up.” Perplexity just dropped their own Openclaw version. [video]
  • @aakashgupta Aakash Gupta on x
    Perplexity spent three years building an AI search engine at $20/month flat. “Computer” layers a consumption-based product on top of that entire base. Max subscribers get 10,000 credits per month. Usage-based pricing. Spending caps. Choose which models run your sub-agents.
  • @gregisenberg Greg Isenberg on x
    10 cool things you can do with perplexity computer and its 19 models: 1. auto-generate a live competitor brief that updates weekly with traffic shifts, hiring signals, and pricing changes 2. turn raw financial exports into a polished board deck with narrative, charts, and
