Perplexity Expands AI Agent to Windows Devices

Perplexity AI has launched a Windows version of its Personal Computer agent, bringing agentic automation software to over 1 billion Windows devices. The tool can handle tasks like editing documents, organizing files, and managing multi-app workflows through a single conversational interface, combining local files with Microsoft 365 and web data. The release signals Perplexity's push to become an enterprise productivity platform beyond AI search. It competes directly with Microsoft's Copilot. Company data will not be used for AI training, and the system requires user approval before sensitive actions. Access starts at $200 per month for Max plan subscribers.
