Perplexity Personal Computer вышел на Windows: ПК превращается в ИИ-агента

Perplexity released a Windows version of its Personal Computer tool in late July 2026 — now a PC running the most widely used desktop OS works as a local AI agent that opens files and applications and carries out tasks for the user.

What Personal Computer can do

Perplexity's Personal Computer works as a "universal digital worker": the agent gets access to local files and applications and performs actions on the user's behalf — for example, creating documents and updating spreadsheets. According to Perplexity's description, the tool operates directly on the machine rather than in the cloud, meaning it carries out tasks locally.

• Windows version — late July 2026; the Mac version launched earlier, in April 2026
• Works as a local AI agent ("general-purpose digital worker")
• Access to the user's local files and applications
• Can create documents and update spreadsheets
• Integrations with Microsoft 365 and Teams launched in May 2026

How Personal Computer connects to Microsoft 365

Back in May 2026, Personal Computer already gained integrations with Microsoft 365 office applications and the Teams video-meeting service. The launch of the Windows version closes the remaining gap: the agent now works on the OS where these applications are used most. The Mac version, released in April 2026, already tested the "digital worker" model, and Windows extends it to the bulk of corporate and home PCs.

How this version differs from Mac

The Windows version repeats the logic of the April Mac release but brings it to the world's most popular operating system. Functionally the agent is the same — access to local files and applications, document creation, spreadsheet work. The difference is in reach: Windows remains the dominant desktop platform, so Personal Computer's potential audience is dramatically wider after this launch than it was for the Mac version.

A "universal digital worker" that gets access to local files and applications — that's how

Perplexity itself describes Personal Computer in the product announcement.

What this means

Agentic AI tools are moving from servers to personal devices. Perplexity is betting on a local agent that controls the user's actual computer, rather than working only in the browser or the cloud. With the launch on Windows, Personal Computer's reach expands to the core desktop audience — a step toward delegating routine PC tasks to AI right on the spot.
