Perplexity says Personal Computer has arrived

Perplexity unveiled Personal Computer on March 11 by inviting interested users to join a waitlist.
Now the company says it’s rolling out Personal Computer to everyone on the waitlist and all Max subscribers starting today.

“Today we’re releasing Personal Computer. Personal Computer integrates with the Perplexity Mac App for secure orchestration across your local files, native apps, and browser.” – Perplexity on Twitter (April 16, 2026)

‘Secure orchestration’ across files, apps, and browser

Personal Computer integrates with the Perplexity Mac App to securely connect to any folder, allowing it to search, read, and write files locally. It can access and work across iMessage, Apple Mail, Calendar, and other native Mac apps.

When set up on a Mac mini, Personal Computer can run 24/7 in the background across all your apps and files. You can start a task from your iPhone, and Personal Computer will operate on your desktop and local files using 2FA.

Subscription tiers

• Perplexity Max – $200 / month; includes Personal Computer access.
• Perplexity Pro – $20 / month; does not include Personal Computer but supports Perplexity Computer, the less capable web‑based version of the AI assistant.

Perplexity also recently launched Comet for iPhone and iPad, expanding its AI browser from the Mac to mobile.
