Apple\u2019s Mac mini<\/a> is back in the AI headlines. Last month, Perplexity released its own version of the OpenClaw \u201cpersonal AI assistant\u201d idea with a feature called Perplexity Computer.<\/p>\n

Now the company is taking the concept a step further with an implementation it calls Personal Computer. This version \u201cworks with a Mac mini that runs continuously, merging your local applications with Perplexity Computer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perplexity announced<\/a> Personal Computer today:<\/p>\n

Announcing Personal Computer. Personal Computer is an always on, local merge with Perplexity Computer that works for you 24\/7. It\u2019s personal, secure, and works across your files, apps, and sessions through a continuously running Mac mini.<\/p>\n

Personal Computer runs in a secure environment and is controllable from any device, anywhere. You can run Personal Computer on a Mac desktop computer connected to your local apps and Perplexity\u2019s secure servers.<\/p>\n

Perplexity also has a video that shows off Personal Computer in action:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While Perplexity is announcing Personal Computer today, potential users will need to join a waitlist <\/a>first before gaining access:<\/p>\n

Starting today, users can join the initial waitlist for the Personal Computer program. We will provide support and resources for the initial cohort.<\/p>\n

This is just the latest example of Apple\u2019s Mac mini<\/a> becoming the AI cloud computer of choice. Later this year, Apple will begin manufacturing some Mac mini computrers<\/a> in the United States for the first time. <\/p>\n
