Perplexity's Portable Computer brings a local task-running AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition → to compatible Windows PCs. According to NVIDIA, it uses an installed model to analyze files and perform multistep work on the machine; tasks completed locally do not consume Perplexity Computer credits. The announcement specifies GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with at least 24GB of video memory.
Local processing and cloud assistance coexist in the product. When a task needs more advanced cloud reasoning, the company says the agent asks permission before sending information off the device. That makes the handoff consequential: the local workflow can keep its processing on the PC, while an approved cloud step changes where information is processed.
