Perplexity’s Portable Computer is now available on Windows and accelerated by NVIDIA RTX GPUs. It is a local version of the Perplexity Computer agent that plans and executes multistep tasks. Using local models, it analyzes data and brings together information directly on the PC.
Why it matters
Running an AI agent locally allows work to be handled on the device while keeping sensitive information on that device rather than sending it elsewhere. According to the source, more capable local models make it possible for agents to take on more work directly on a PC.
Who should care
Windows users with NVIDIA RTX hardware who want on-device agentic assistance for multistep tasks, along with those prioritizing local data handling.
