"Multiagent orchestration logic behind Computer is that, rather than becoming general-purpose tools, AI models have instead branched off into different specialties: Anthropic's Claude, for example, is famously popular among software engineers. Relying on a single model to complete a complex task is therefore a bit like trying to assemble an Ikea dining table using a butter knife; it could be possible, but the finished product is going to be a little wonky."
"Computer is a general-purpose digital worker that reasons, delegates, searches, builds, remembers, codes, and delivers. Think of Computer like the CEO of a company, delegating tasks across a hierarchy of teams and employees, where a user can describe their vision for a final outcome and the system orchestrates multiple specialized AI models to achieve it."
Perplexity introduced Computer, a multiagent orchestration system designed to address limitations of single AI models by coordinating multiple specialized frontier models. Rather than relying on one general-purpose model, Computer delegates tasks across different AI systems optimized for specific functions, similar to how a CEO distributes work across specialized teams. The system reasons, searches, builds, codes, and remembers information to complete complex tasks. Currently available to Perplexity Max users with rollout planned for Enterprise and Pro subscribers, Computer represents the company's bet on autonomous AI agents as the future of productivity, while addressing security concerns that have surrounded similar tools.
