US EditionPerplexity Announces "Computer," an AI Agent that Assigns Work to Other AI Agents
Perplexity's Computer safely coordinates over a dozen AI models to autonomously perform diverse tasks with users, aiming to address risks from always-on agents like OpenClaw.
- On Wednesday, Perplexity introduced Computer, a multiagent orchestration system harnessing over a dozen leading AI models, now available to Perplexity Max users with planned Enterprise and Pro rollouts.
- Earlier this month, viral OpenClaw episodes—including Meta AI security researcher Summer Yue's failed attempts to stop it deleting her inbox—raised alarm as security professionals warned always-on agents can misinterpret prompts; Perplexity said it offers Computer as a safer alternative.
- Using Claude Opus 4.6 as its core engine, Computer decomposes user goals into subtasks handled by GPT-5.2, Google's Nano Banana, Veo 3.1, and Grok.
- Perplexity runs Computer in a development sandbox to prevent glitches spreading to users' main network, and the company said it quietly operates for months, completing thousands of internal task runs.
- Perplexity says the model lineup may change as new specialists emerge, the company is betting multiagent orchestration is the future, and users can step into the orchestrator role to assign subtasks.
