Perplexity Announces "Personal Computer", an AI System Similar to OpenClaw

IBL News | New York

Perplexity announced this month “Personal Computer,” an agentic software that turns a dedicated device, such as a Mac mini, with full local access to files and apps into a controlled AI system similar to OpenClaw.

The company said that “Personal Computer” is more secure than OpenClaw because it includes a built-in audit trail and requires all actions to be confirmed by the user.

This AI operating system, which will initially be available only on Mac, takes objectives while a traditional operating system takes instructions.

A few weeks ago, the company released Perplexity Computer, a cloud-based AI agent. This agent now presents enhanced security controls, compliance features, and single sign-on support. It can run from a mobile phone, not just a PC or Mac.
