Perplexity launches secure sandbox to make its AI agents secure and powerful

Perplexity AI Inc. today introduced a new feature that takes its current agentic artificial intelligence service, Computer, to perform better with greater security.

The company introduced SPACE, a sandbox platform designed to allow its AI agent to act with its full capabilities, while providing the highest level of security for agentic systems.

Perplexity Computer can be best described as a “digital worker” provided by Perplexity on top of its AI search engine. It takes user-described natural language goals and breaks them down into multi-step tasks, then orchestrates over 19 different frontier models – including Claude, Gemini and Grok – to interact with tools including web search, email, Notion, Slack, data curation and more.

In this manner, it is similar to agentic AI work systems released by other companies, such as Anthropic PBC’s Claude Cowork and OpenAI Group PBC’s ChatGPT Work.
