Computer now works in email. Send, forward, or cc [email protected] on any thread. Every email task runs as a normal session in Computer, viewable on web and mobile, with the same audit trail as any task in the app.

Computer in Email is available to all Computer users today. Read more:

If Pro users got credits every week, all these updates would actually make sense. Without that, they’re basically useless

integrity of data by email agents has to remain verifiable after the thread closes

bravo perplexity

the cc part is really clever. people already know how to bring someone into an email thread, now that someone can be an agent

This is pure magic 🔥 Emailing Computer and getting full LBO models + attachments back in the same thread? Game-changer for real work. Love how seamless it feels.

Email as the interface is underrated. Most work already lives in inboxes — meeting the agent there removes a real friction point.

One thing that has been decreasing my use of perplexity is this focus on computer. When I tap my icon to see my search history, I usually only see computer history. Please make it so that you can see your search history in the app on iOS.

the interface for AI agents might just be email. Perplexity lets you send or CC Computer on a thread, and the agent can take over the task while preserving the session context and audit trail. that's a pretty natural way to delegate work to AI

But make computer more credit efficient. It eats out the tokens fast

cc the ai on your email so it can join the meeting you didn't want [email protected] is just another intern that never unsubscribes

Finally, no more manually porting messy email threads into a workspace. This is essentially what should have happened with the failed IBM Watson for Oncology integration, where doctors struggled to bridge internal patient records with external insights.

interesting that every task runs as a normal session with the same audit trail. that's the accountability layer most agent products skip you need to see what it did, not just what it returned.

🚨 Bug in Perplexity CometSince ~Aug 17, “Control browser” is now under Computer and asks Pro users to “add credits” even though they should have access.

Email is the perfect agent surface and the scariest permission surface. How granular is approval before it sends or forwards?

perplexity just turned every inbox into an agent prompt!!! emailing a task directly instead of opening a separate app is a massive workflow unlock. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is a meaningful step toward making email a native interface for AI-powered computer tasks. The shared session, mobile/web visibility, and full audit trail make the workflow both more accessible and trustworthy. Great execution by the Perplexity team.

El audit trail es lo correcto y casi nadie lo pone en el release. Corriendo agentes 24/7 hace 7 meses aprendí que auditar la sesión no alcanza: si entra en loop te enterás por la factura. Lo que falta es presupuesto y permiso por herramienta, no por sesión.

Bhai Perplexity Browser use needs to come back to pro plan. Why was it removed? I took pro specifically for it.

cc'ing a bot into a thread is just a queue with better camouflage

this is how email slowly stops being an inbox and starts becoming an agent

email becoming another interface for agents is a much bigger shift than it looks

The email thread doubling as the audit trail is the smart part. Every step the agent takes stays in the message history, so a human cc'd in sees the full run, not just the answer. Inbox as session log.

Bringing Computer directly into email makes the workflow much more practical. Simple idea with a lot of potential.

email just went from something you check to something you can delegate

This is a huge step toward making email a true AI workspace. Being able to hand off, forward, or CC tasks to Computer while keeping the full session and audit trail is seriously useful.

What is this computer cns you tell me

Cc-ing that address is the same as pasting the whole thread into Perplexity. Fine for my own mail. I would not put a client thread on it.

Without needing to send emails out would be the best

Turning email into an interface for Computer makes AI-powered tasks feel more accessible and seamless.

Email agents are getting scary useful

email just became another interface ..........nice update

Email makes agents accessible, but it also collapses the security boundary: forwarded threads can contain stale instructions, hidden recipients, and untrusted attachments. The audit trail is only useful if every external action exposes its source message and authorization path.

this is the kind of integration that makes email feel like an actual workspace instead of a never ending inbox ✨

finally, email threads can become agent tasks without losing the context trail
