Perplexity has expanded its agentic Personal Computer tool to Windows, allowing computers running the world’s most popular OS to be used as a locally run AI system. Like the Mac version that Perplexity launched in April, Personal Computer for Windows operates like a “general-purpose digital worker” that can access local files and apps to perform actions on your behalf, such as creating documents and updating spreadsheets.
‘Now Microsoft users can ask Computer to work across their local files, Microsoft Office 365, and the web in one place.’

This launch builds on Personal Computer integrations that Perplexity launched for Microsoft’s 365 workspace apps and Teams virtual meeting software in May. Personal Computer for Windows aims to bridge the remaining gap by operating directly inside the Windows environment, Perplexity said in its press release, noting that enterprise work the agentic tool is designed for typically occurs locally on Windows devices “out of AI’s reach.”
“Now Microsoft users can ask Computer to work across their local files, Microsoft Office 365, and the web in one place,” Perplexity said. “It’s built for the often messy way enterprise work gets done on local machines.”
Personal Computer for Windows is rolling out to paying Max and Enterprise Max users today, on subscription tiers that start from $200 per month. Perplexity says the tool doesn’t train on company data, and that Personal Computer for Windows always notifies users before performing sensitive actions like sending emails and deleting files.
