AI agents level up, from tasks to digital workers.

Perplexity is launching Perplexity Computer, a system that Perplexity is launching Perplexity Computer, a system that orchestrates every current AI capability into a single system, acting as a general-purpose digital worker capable of creating and executing entire workflows that run for hours or months. Perplexity Computer uses reasoning, delegation, searching, building, remembering, coding, and delivering to break down outcomes into tasks and subtasks, creating sub-agents for execution, and coordinates automatically, allowing users to focus on other things or run dozens of Perplexity Computers in parallel. As of this writing, Perplexity Computer runs Opus 4.6 for its core reasoning engine and orchestrates sub-agents with the best models for specific tasks, including Gemini for deep research, Nano Banana for images, Veo 3.1 for video, Grok for speed in lightweight tasks, and ChatGPT 5.2 for long-context recall and wide search. *** Google AI is transforming Chrome into a playground Google AI is transforming Chrome into a playground for AI agents with the Web Model Context Protocol (WebMCP), enabling direct and structured website interactions. This new protocol, announced alongside the Early Preview Program (EPP), allows websites to communicate directly with AI models, replacing the messy process of taking screenshots and guessing where to click with structured data that turns a website into a set of capabilities. Developers can expose website functions by adding new HTML attributes or use the Imperative API with JavaScript's navigator.modelContext.registerTool() for complex workflows. By using structured JSON schemas instead of vision-based processing, WebMCP can lead to a 67% reduction in computational overhead and pushes task accuracy to approximately 98% . The protocol is 'permission-first,' requiring user confirmation before an AI agent can execute sensitive tools, and includes methods like clearContext() to wipe shared session data. *** Samsung has confirmed Perplexity as the new Galaxy Samsung has confirmed Perplexity as the new Galaxy AI Agent, with its debut expected on the Galaxy S26. This partnership signals a move towards integrating advanced AI capabilities directly into Samsung's flagship devices, potentially leveraging Perplexity's AI-native browser and personal AI agent Comet Assistant.
