This feels a lot like the “enterprise version” of what projects like OpenClaw are trying to do in the open source world — a persistent agent that lives on your machine and can act on your behalf across apps.

If Perplexity ships this successfully, I suspect it could push the whole space forward. Once a big company normalizes the idea of an always-on agent with OS-level access, we’ll probably see a lot more companies building similar “AI computer” layers on top of existing systems.
