perplexity's personal computer, designed for local ai agent functionality, is now available to all mac users through its desktop app. this tool allows ai agents to access local files, applications, and the web to manage personal workflows. it was previously limited to subscribers but is now open for all mac users with a pro or max subscription.
for indie developers, this means you can leverage ai to automate tasks across different applications on your mac. the personal computer can orchestrate tools, use over 400 connectors, and work with your local files, which could enhance productivity in managing projects and documents. it can also be accessed remotely from an iphone, allowing for task management on the go.
the older mac app will be deprecated soon as the focus shifts to the personal computer app. currently, the new app is available for direct download and is not listed in the mac app store.
consider testing the personal computer for tasks like comparing files from different apps or pulling notes to draft documents. this could save time and streamline your workflow significantly.
