Perplexity Computer

Perplexity Computer is a system that creates and executes entire workflows, capable of running for hours or even months. Computer reasons, delegate, searches, builds, remembers, codes, and delivers.

When you describe an outcome, Perplexity Computer breaks it into tasks and subtasks, creating sub-agents for execution. The sub-agents might do web research, document generation, data processing, or API calls to your connected services. A document is drafted by one agent while another gathers the data it needs.

Computer orchestrates models to run agents in parallel, leveraging Opus to match each task to the model best suited for it. In total, the computer can work across 19 different models.

Perplexity Computer runs Opus 4.6 for its core reasoning engine and orchestrates sub-agents with the best models for specific tasks, Gemini for deep research (creating sub-agents), Nano Banana for images, Veo 3.1 for video, Grok for speed in lightweight tasks, and ChatGPT 5.2 for long-context recall and wide search.

It uses usage-based pricing with optional sub-agent model selection and spending caps. You can choose different models for different sub-agent tasks and control token spending.

Perplexity Computer is available for the Max subscribers, while it will also be made available to Enterprise Max users soon. Max users get 10,000 credits per month included with their subscription.
