Don't let AI service providers dilute the meaning of “local”. If it can't run offline on compute and data you actually own, it's not a Personal Computer.

We first built Computer as a Slack integration and had every Perplexity employee in the same channel. Our estimate: Computer performed 3.25 years of work and saved us $1.6M in just four weeks. Today, we're making the Computer Slack integration available for all Enterprise users.
