Perplexity Computer
19 AI models, one coordinator — multi-model orchestration as infrastructure
Perplexity Computer is a multi-model agent orchestration platform launched February 2026. It accepts a high-level objective, breaks it into subtasks, and routes each subtask to whichever AI model is best suited for it — Claude Opus 4.6 for orchestration and coding, Gemini for research and image generation, GPT-5.2 for long-context recall and web search, Grok for speed-sensitive tasks, and 16 others. The coordinator decides which specialist handles each job. A Personal Computer variant runs 24/7 on a local Mac Mini with full file and app access.
Use Cases
- Multi-step research requiring different specialist models
- Building autonomous workflows that span coding, research, and content
- Running 24/7 AI agents on dedicated hardware (Personal Computer)
- Coordinating complex projects across multiple AI capabilities
- Zero-Human Company operations requiring consistent specialist routing
