Perplexity introduces Personal Computer for Mac users, expanding access to Max subscribers and waitlisted users. The feature works with the Perplexity Mac app, enabling secure control over local files, apps, and browsers. Powered by a dedicated Mac mini, the system runs 24/7 with user approval for sensitive tasks and full audit logs. This update aligns with AI and crypto news trends, aiming to redefine how on-chain news and AI tools interact. The company seeks to shift AI from an assistant to a core computing tool, targeting high-frequency knowledge workers.

ME News reports that on April 17 (UTC+8), according to monitoring by Beating, Perplexity has begun rolling out Personal Computer to Max subscribers and waitlist users. The company states that this feature integrates with the Perplexity Mac App, enabling secure orchestration of local files, native applications, and browsers. Previously, Perplexity disclosed on its website that Personal Computer runs on a dedicated, 24/7-online Mac mini; sensitive operations require user approval and maintain complete audit logs and a kill switch. Perplexity is not selling just another desktop assistant—it aims to advance the narrative that “AI is the computer” onto local devices, moving beyond helping users look up information or launch tools to directly executing tasks on their behalf. Its true target is the orchestration overhead that frustrates high-frequency knowledge workers, transforming the computer from an instruction executor into a goal executor.
