Direct answer

Perplexity Computer can run recurring and event-triggered automations using memory, skills and connected apps, with review before sensitive actions.

Before

Perplexity Computer was documented mainly as a task-oriented work environment with memory, skills and connected tools.

Now

Computer can run recurring or event-triggered automations on the web using memory, skills and connectors.

Perplexity is extending Computer with Automations for ongoing work. According to its October 5, 2026 changelog, tasks on the web can start on a schedule or in response to events from connected apps. Automations can use Memory, Skills and Connectors and can build on outcomes from earlier runs.

The combination of repetition, context and external events is especially relevant for agentic systems. Perplexity gives examples such as daily change monitoring, reacting to shipment delays and following up when a customer has not replied. Automations can pause for review before consequential actions.

The same changelog also documents interactive inline visualizations and additional model options. For the AgentenCode profile, Automations is the more structural change because it moves Computer toward persistent work rather than isolated sessions.

AgentenCode does not infer unlimited autonomy from the feature. Available apps, data and actions still depend on plan, connected services, permissions and configuration. The verified change therefore concerns the automation capability, while the actual action surface remains deployment-specific.
