What is Computer?
Perplexity Computer is a powerful orchestrator of AI agents that can research, code, create and work autonomously in concert. It’s built for tasks that involve multiple steps, tools, and deliverables. Instead of managing each part of that process yourself, you can hand off the work and get to a finished result with less coordination in between.
To get started, describe the outcome you want, include the files or tools it should use, and tell it what you want it to produce. The clearer the task, context, and output, the easier it is for Computer to begin working toward the result.
How it works: Computer routes different parts of a task to the systems best suited for them, drawing on more than 20 models across the workflow.
What it does: Computer can carry tasks forward over time, which makes it useful for longer projects, recurring workflows, and real deliverables. It can also operate across connected tools and data sources, including Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Snowflake, Salesforce, and HubSpot.
What to use it for: Use Computer to research a topic, analyze business data, draft a report, build a dashboard, create a presentation, or run recurring workflows over time.
When to use it: Computer is most useful when a task has multiple steps, depends on tools or files, or needs to end in a real output. It helps move work from request to completion with less manual coordination in between.
