Perplexity launches Personal Computer, an AI agent tool that transforms old Macs into autonomous AI systems. Running 24/7 on local networks, it acts as a "digital replacement," going beyond traditional chatbots. This marks Perplexity's ambition to evolve from a search interface into a proactive AI agent capable of independent task execution and decision-making.
