Perplexity’s new Computer is another bet that users need many AI models
Summary
Perplexity has launched Computer, an agentic tool (software that can independently execute complex tasks) that combines 19 different AI models to handle workflows like data collection, analysis, and report creation. The tool runs in the cloud and is available only to subscribers of Perplexity Max (the $200/month tier), though a planned demo was canceled hours before a press event due to flaws discovered in the product.
