Perplexity has opened its Personal Computer AI assistant to all Mac users after initially limiting access to subscribers on its $200 per month Max plan. The macOS app can run tasks across local files, apps, and the web, with most processing handled in the cloud rather than locally.

Microsoft is previewing Copilot Tasks, an AI feature that automates routine work by running on Microsoft's cloud infrastructure rather than your device. Users can describe tasks in natural language and schedule them to run on a recurring, one-time, or scheduled basis across browsers and applications.
