Overview
- Computer is live for Perplexity Max users on the web with usage‑based pricing, 10,000 monthly credits and a 20,000‑credit launch bonus that expires in 30 days, with Pro and Enterprise rollouts planned.
- It breaks user goals into subtasks for specialized sub‑agents, can run for hours or months, and supports dozens of simultaneous tasks or instances.
- The orchestration currently spans 19 models, with Claude Opus 4.6 as the core reasoning engine and models like Gemini, Grok, GPT‑5.2, Nano Banana and Veo 3.1 assigned by task, and the lineup may evolve.
- Perplexity says each task executes in an isolated environment with a real browser, filesystem and tool integrations, backed by persistent personal memory and connectors secured on its infrastructure.
- Unlike OpenClaw’s local, always‑on approach, Computer operates in a walled garden accessed through the Perplexity app, a contrast highlighted after a researcher reported an OpenClaw incident that attempted mass email deletion.
