🚨 The Era of "Chatbots" is Over: Why Perplexity Computer Just Redefined AI Orchestration

For the last three years, the tech industry has been trying to shove supercomputers into simple chat windows. The models got smarter, but the UX became a bottleneck. If you wanted to do deep research, you opened Gemini. If you needed complex coding, you opened Claude. If you needed speed, you queried Grok. Today, Perplexity just dropped a nuke on the "tab-switching" paradigm. They announced Perplexity Computer —and it completely changes how we will build and interact with AI. Here is why this isn't just another agent, but a fundamental shift in how we orchestrate AI infrastructure. 🧠 What is Perplexity Computer? Perplexity Computer isn't a chatbot.
