Perplexity’s Personal Computer AI assistant feature launches on Mac for subscribers

Last month, Perplexity announced Personal Computer, a Mac-based personal AI assistant. Today, the Mac-specific version of the company’s Perplexity Computer system, inspired by OpenClaw, is launching.

Perplexity says Personal Computer has arrived

Perplexity unveiled Personal Computer on March 11 by inviting interested users to join a waitlist.

Now the company says it’s rolling out Personal Computer to everyone on the waitlist and all Max subscribers starting today.

‘Secure orchestration’ across files, apps, and browser

More from Perplexity on what Personal Computer can do below:

Personal Computer integrates with the Perplexity Mac App for secure orchestration across your local files, native apps, and browser.

Personal Computer securely connects to any folder to search, read, and write files locally. It can access and work across iMessage, Apple Mail, Calendar and other native Mac apps.

When set up on a Mac mini, Personal Computer can run 24/7 in the background across all your apps and files.

Start a task from your iPhone, and Personal Computer can operate on your desktop and local files using 2FA.

Perplexity Max is the company’s $200/month subscription.

Perplexity Pro, their $20/month plan, doesn’t include Personal Computer access. However, it does support Perplexity Computer, the less capable web-based version of the AI assistant feature.

Perplexity also recently launched Comet for iPhone and iPad, expanding its AI browser from the Mac to mobile.
