Perplexity Portable Computer Is Now Available on Windows, Powered by NVIDIA RTX
Perplexity has launched its Portable Computer agent for Windows PCs equipped with NVIDIA RTX GPUs, enabling users to run private AI workflows locally. This local agent handles multistep tasks using on-device models to keep sensitive data secure while optionally connecting to cloud models for advanced reasoning. The release expands access to agentic AI for Windows users by integrating with popular productivity tools and requiring specific hardware specifications.
- ▪Perplexity Portable Computer is now available on Windows for NVIDIA GeForce RTX and RTX PRO GPUs with at least 24GB of VRAM.
- ▪The local agent uses post-trained models like Qwen 3.8 27B to process sensitive data on-device without consuming cloud credits.
- ▪Users can connect the agent to applications such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Drive, Slack, and GitHub to automate daily workflows.
- ▪The system allows users to escalate tasks to cloud models for complex reasoning after obtaining explicit permission to send data off-device.
