Perplexity 'Computer' AI Agent Enters Enterprise, Targeting Microsoft and Salesforce Directly

VentureBeat·high signal

Perplexity has launched its 'Computer' agentic product into the enterprise market, positioning it as a direct competitor to Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce. Unlike chat-first AI tools, Perplexity Computer is designed to autonomously execute multi-step workflows across enterprise systems. This represents a new threat vector — a search-native player attacking the CRM and productivity SaaS categories simultaneously.
