Perplexity takes a leap from conversational search to corporate automation with Computer. This AI agent acts as an orchestrator, breaking down complex objectives into subtasks and assigning each one to the most suitable model. Its native integration with Slack aims to facilitate adoption, allowing employees to invoke it within their usual workflows for tasks such as report generation.
Multimodel architecture and task orchestration 🤖
The technical proposal is based on a system that does not rely on a single AI model. Computer functions as a planner that analyzes an objective, divides it into logical steps, and selects the specific model or tool for each one. This can include anything from LLMs for writing to code engines for data analysis. The connection to the company's internal systems through connectors allows the agent to operate with real information to automate processes.
Goodbye to coffee, hello to chatting with the bot in Slack ☕
The future of the office looks clear: no more bothering that colleague who knows how to extract data from the ERP. Now, just write a request in a Slack thread and wait for our new silent colleague, who never takes vacations, to solve it. Socialization in the company will evolve toward debates about which is the most effective prompt so that the AI doesn't mess up the quarterly figures again.
