Perplexity launches cloud-based AI agent service, Personal Computer.

CoinFeed, March 12th – According to IT Home, Perplexity announced the launch of its cloud-based AI agent service, Personal Computer. Leveraging a continuously running Apple Mac mini, it seamlessly integrates the user's local files and applications with cloud-based AI, providing 24/7 personalized intelligent assistance. In terms of operation, the service is similar to the "crayfish" OpenClaw solution, primarily relying on a continuously running Apple Mac mini, deeply integrating the user's local applications with the cloud-based Perplexity AI to create a collaborative "local + cloud" working model. To prevent AI from abusing its permissions, the system stipulates that all instructions involving sensitive operations must be authorized by the user twice.
