Perplexity's new enterprise agent runs on 20 models

Perplexity is moving well beyond search.

Perplexity just launched Computer for Enterprise, an AI system built to run complex, multi-step workflows from start to finish.

An orchestration hub for 400+ apps

Instead of acting as a standalone chat assistant, the platform handles tasks spanning research, coding, design, and deployment.

Under the hood, it routes work across 20 specialized AI models depending on the specific job, while integrating with more than 400 applications, including Slack.

The goal is to automate business processes across the existing software stack without forcing teams to switch contexts.

Why it matters

We think this is a clear pivot from an information engine to an operational engine. Perplexity is positioning itself directly against established enterprise automation tools.

Routing across 20 specialized models is a smart architectural choice, as no single model dominates every step from design to code deployment.

However, multi-step execution across hundreds of enterprise apps comes with real risk. If one handoff fails, the entire workflow stalls, so reliability in production will determine whether companies actually trust it with mission-critical work.
