Perplexity's "Personal Computer" brings its AI agents to the, uh, Personal Computer

ThinkingNews Desk · how this was written
Perplexity’s “Personal Computer” feature enables users to convert a spare Mac mini into a dedicated, always-on AI agent. The tool runs continuously, allowing the Mac to host Perplexity’s AI models and respond to queries without requiring the user to keep a separate device active. This transforms the Mac mini into a persistent, on-demand personal assistant.
