Perplexity’s Personal Computer is a cloud-based AI agent running on Mac mini

Apple’s Mac mini is back in the AI headlines. Last month, Perplexity released its own version of the OpenClaw “personal AI assistant” idea with a feature called Perplexity Computer.

Now the company is taking the concept a step further with an implementation it calls Personal Computer. This version “works with a Mac mini that runs continuously, merging your local applications with Perplexity Computer.”
