About

Instinct is a personal assistant that understands what you are working on and what is important to you, then connects directly to the applications and devices that contain the context of your everyday life. It can work across email, messaging, your screen, audio, location, and other sources rather than requiring you to move everything into a new interface. The interaction model is deliberately simple: there are no new interfaces to learn. Instinct is trained to use a phone and a computer in the same way people do, and users can reach it by text or by calling it. Its core model is trained to understand and handle the deeply personal nuances of everyday life, allowing it to move beyond answering isolated prompts and instead act on ongoing responsibilities and unfinished threads. It can follow up on conversations you have dropped, proactively call or text you when something needs attention, arrange transportation to the airport, and book a handyman for your apartment.

About

Personal Computer by Perplexity is an AI-powered operating system concept designed to transform how users interact with their computers. Instead of relying on traditional command-based instructions, the system focuses on understanding and executing user objectives. It provides the Perplexity Computer and Comet Assistant with continuous access to local files, applications, and active sessions through a persistent desktop environment. This always-on AI assistant acts as a digital proxy that can help manage tasks, automate workflows, and interact with the user’s computer in real time. The system is designed with security safeguards, requiring user approval for sensitive actions and maintaining logs of all activity. Users can also control or monitor the AI from any device, enabling remote access and management of their computing environment. By combining automation with oversight, Personal Computer aims to create a more intuitive and intelligent computing experience.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Instinct feels much closer to an actual personal assistant than a normal chatbot. I can text it like I would a person, hand it something that needs to get done, and let it handle the messy follow-up work. The ability to call businesses is especially useful. Things like restaurant reservations, appointment waitlists, service issues, and other tasks that still require a phone call are exactly the kind of work I want an AI assistant taking off my plate. I also really like that Instinct has its own email address. Letting the agent handle confirmations, account signups, and communication without flooding my personal inbox makes the whole experience feel more autonomous.

Cons

  • The biggest concern is privacy. Instinct needs access to a lot of personal context to be this useful, and early testers have raised questions about its permissions, security model, and terms. It is also still early and access remains limited, so I would not hand it complete control over anything sensitive without keeping a close eye on what it is doing.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Personal Computer by Perplexity feels like a shift from using AI tools to actually having an always on digital worker. It runs continuously on a dedicated machine and can operate across your local files, apps, and browser, which makes it far more integrated into daily workflows than typical cloud based assistants. For knowledge work, this means tasks like research, reporting, and coordination can happen in the background without constant prompting. You can have it analyze files, interact with development environments, and automate technical workflows while maintaining context over time, which is valuable for hybrid roles that combine analysis and engineering.

Cons

  • The always on model comes with trade offs. Running it requires dedicated hardware like a Mac mini and a high tier subscription, which makes the cost significantly higher than most AI tools.
