Overview
- The feature is live for Perplexity Max subscribers with usage-based credits, with broader access planned for Pro and Enterprise tiers; outlets note the Max plan is priced at about $200 per month.
- Claude Opus 4.6 powers the core reasoning, with tasks routed to other models such as Gemini, Grok, and GPT‑5.2 based on their strengths.
- Computer decomposes user goals into subtasks handled by sub‑agents that can use a real browser, a filesystem, and external tool and API integrations to complete workflows over hours or months.
- Perplexity positions the cloud sandbox as a safer approach than local agents like OpenClaw after reported incidents showed risks from agents acting directly on user machines.
- The launch underscores a shift from AI search to execution, as coverage also flags pending copyright litigation that could pose business and legal risks.
