"Where chat interfaces provide answers and agents perform tasks, Computer creates complete workflows. Users describe the desired result, after which the system automatically breaks it down into tasks and subtasks. The subagents work asynchronously and can perform web research, draft documents, process data, or make API calls to connected services."
"Perplexity Computer runs on Opus 4.6 as its core reasoning engine and automatically selects the best model for specific subtasks. Gemini is used for deep research and creating subagents, Nano Banana for images, Veo 3.1 for video, Grok for fast tasks, and ChatGPT 5.2 for long-context recall."
"Each task runs in an isolated compute environment with access to a file system, browser, and tool integrations. According to Perplexity, the result is a secure environment for powerful AI, universally accessible without local installation."
Perplexity Computer is a multi-model orchestration system that coordinates multiple sub-agents to perform complex workflows autonomously for extended periods. Unlike chat interfaces that provide answers or single agents that perform individual tasks, Computer breaks down user-described objectives into hierarchical tasks and subtasks executed by specialized sub-agents working asynchronously. The system leverages Opus 4.6 as its core reasoning engine while automatically selecting optimal models for specific functions: Gemini for research, Nano Banana for images, Veo 3.1 for video, Grok for fast tasks, and ChatGPT 5.2 for long-context recall. Each task operates in isolated compute environments with access to file systems, browsers, and tool integrations, ensuring security and accessibility without local installation requirements.
