Perplexity launched Personal Computer on April 16 for Max subscribers ($200/mo), dropping a full desktop agent onto macOS. Activated by pressing both Command keys, it reads/writes local files, controls native apps (iMessage, Mail, Calendar), and orchestrates across local and web sources. Perplexity recommends running it on a Mac mini as an always-on agent. Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
