Perplexity

Perplexity has released a brand new version of its macOS app that is replacing the company’s previous Mac software.

Apple’s Mac mini is back in the AI headlines. Last month, Perplexity released its own version of the OpenClaw “personal AI assistant” idea with a feature called Perplexity Computer.

Now the company is taking the concept a step further with an implementation it calls Personal Computer. This version “works with a Mac mini that runs continuously, merging your local applications with Perplexity Computer.”

Rumors of Apple considering a Perplexity acquisition refuse to cease. Meanwhile, another AI firm continues to be part of the conversation. Both are mentioned in a new report that paints a picture of Eddy Cue as pro-acquisition despite pushback from other Apple executives.
