Perplexity’s Personal Computer turns Windows PCs into AI agents
The Verge·July 28, 2026
Perplexity has expanded its Personal Computer tool to Windows, enabling computers running the operating system to be used as locally run AI systems. The tool operates as a "general-purpose digital worker" that can access local files and apps to perform actions on behalf of the user, such as creating documents and updating spreadsheets. Personal Computer for Windows builds on previous integrations with Microsoft's 365 workspace apps and Teams virtual meeting software. The launch aims to bridge the remaining gap in AI functionality for Windows users, providing a more comprehensive AI experience.
