- Perplexity launched Perplexity Computer starting this week on the $200/month Perplexity Max tier, marking its biggest revenue day when the product went live.
- After finishing Comet, the company built Computer two months later, rapidly prototyping it on Claude Code following frontier-model breakthroughs in December.
- By design, Perplexity Computer breaks goals into steps, assigns them to 19 AI models, reads screens with vision models, reasons with language models, maintains memory, and creates subagents for complex workflows.
