Perplexity launches Personal Computer, a product that transforms Windows PCs into autonomous AI agents capable of executing tasks across applications and workflows without direct user intervention.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Perplexity just positioned itself between your operating system and your customer. If you build workflow automation, RPA, or task management software for Windows, you're now competing with an agent that runs natively on the OS itself - and doesn't need your app installed to replace your job.
