Perplexity has introduced a Personal Computer, a new AI platform that combines its agentic AI platform with a Mac mini's local applications. The company's CEO, Aravind Srinivas, stated that the Personal Computer is a version of Perplexity Computer that handles tasks on a nearby computer. This concept has been expanded to run locally to the user. While the Personal Computers will still run on the Mac, the AI processing part of this will still require user approval and a kill switch. This follows a trend of local AI running on Apple's compact Mac mini, with the Mac mini becoming an entry point to running AI agents elsewhere.
