Perplexity has made its Personal Computer AI assistant available to all Mac users, expanding beyond its previous exclusivity to subscribers of the $200 per month Max plan. The new macOS app allows users to perform everyday tasks such as handling queries, managing attachments, and dictation. It operates using a combination of AI models, including Gemini for deep research, Nano Banana for image processing, and ChatGPT for extensive context recall. Unlike many similar tools that run locally, Personal Computer primarily relies on cloud processing, which helps alleviate the load on Mac systems. This feature allows users to run the assistant continuously on devices like a Mac mini, and they can control it remotely via an iPhone. Perplexity also emphasizes that the assistant's actions are auditable and reversible, providing users peace of mind regarding accidental deletions of important files.
