Perplexity brings its Personal Computer AI agent to Windows
Perplexity AI Inc. today released a Windows version of Personal Computer, expanding its agentic automation software beyond the original Macintosh platform and making it available to more than 1 billion Windows devices.
First released in April, Personal Computer software acts as a general-purpose digital worker that can access authorized files and applications on a user’s computer. Users can ask it to create or edit Word documents, update Excel spreadsheets, organize files, conduct online research and complete workflows involving multiple applications.
Personal Computer is intended to overcome the inability of many AI assistants to work with information stored locally or operate across the collection of applications that employees use. The Windows version can combine local files and applications with information from Microsoft 365 and websites, allowing users to manage the work through a single conversational interface.
“It’s built for the often messy way enterprise work gets done on local machines,” the company wrote on its blog.
