Perplexity launches Computer, bringing AI to help users ace their projects

Perplexity has launched Computer, which could turn AI into a true end-to-end partner for any project. Users can conduct research on topics, create designs, write code, deploy solutions, and manage everything afterward in one system.

The feature can run many models together. It sends agents to work in parallel and picks the best one for each step, often letting Opus decide the match. In all, Computer routes jobs across 19 models to deliver stronger results faster.

This setup acts as the personal computer people hoped for in 2026. It stays personal to each user, recalls past work automatically, and stays secure by default. Hundreds of connectors link to outside services while persistent memory holds files and context.

Full web access pulls in fresh details, all built on Perplexity’s own infrastructure. Users can shift from single tasks to handling hundreds of active projects at once. They can clear to-do lists, advance ongoing efforts, or kick off fresh side projects without losing track.

On availability, Max subscribers gain access right away through the web. Perplexity plans to bring it to Pro and Enterprise users very soon. Pricing works on usage, with options to choose models for sub-agents and set clear spending caps. Max members already receive 10,000 credits each month as part of their plan. Everyone gets a one-time bonus of 20,000 extra credits at launch or signup, and those credits last 30 days.

Yesterday, Perplexity rolled out voice mode upgrades across its main app and Comet for all users. In the weeks before, they added Gemini 3.1 Pro and Claude Sonnet 4.6 for Pro and Max subscribers while opening Comet pre-orders on iOS. These moves show steady progress toward deeper multi-model and agent tools.

Max subscribers should visit perplexity.ai/computer and start using it now.
