Perplexity Computer can be best described as a "digital worker" provided by Perplexity on top of its AI search engine.
- Work that lasts over hours, days and months sometimes requires restarts.
To handle this, SPACE wraps sessions that can be paused, resumed or branched into multiple sandboxes.
- Building a secure environment for agentic AI Every task runs within an instance of Firecracker microVM , an open-source virtual machine developed by Amazon Web Services Inc.
and designed specifically to improve resource utilization for AWS services such as Lambda and Fargate.
- This means that a user can walk away mid-task, come back a week later, and the agent will be able to start right where they left off.
As for passwords, keys and other sensitive information, none of that is stored within the sandbox and remains entirely in the control of the user through their own password and key management systems, and is only accessed when needed.

In this manner, it is similar to agentic AI work systems released by other companies, such as Anthropic PBC's Claude Cowork and OpenAI Group PBC's ChatGPT Work .
The system can recall past work, the person's specific style and allows the user to walk away and let it run on its own. It can also be set up to run on a schedule, and monitor and activate when data changes over hours, days and months. Work that lasts over hours, days and months sometimes requires restarts.
