Intelligence Summary

Perplexity has expanded its agentic Personal Computer feature to Windows PCs. The tool lets a locally running system act like a general-purpose digital worker for common tasks. It can work with local files and desktop apps to create documents and update spreadsheets. This builds on earlier Perplexity integrations for Microsoft 365 and Teams. The main risk to users is granting the agent access to sensitive data and actions without clear boundaries, so review permissions and use least privilege.

Recommended Action
