Use your computer's states as a trigger for your smart home devices.

Perplexity has announced its Mac mini-based Personal Computer AI assistant, and it can run your computer for you.

Science fiction has regularly portrayed smart computer assistants in a fanciful way. HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey and J.A.R.V.I.S. from the contemporary Iron Man films are both great examples.

Perplexity AI has unveiled Personal Computer, an AI system designed to run on a Mac and act as a persistent digital agent capable of completing tasks across apps, files and online services.
