Perplexity is jumping on the open claw bandwagon, or at least their own flavor of this.

0:05.7

They said that their premium subscribers are going to have access to a new agent tool.

0:10.8

They can take 19 different AI models all working together in computer use,

0:15.3

meaning it can kind of take control of your screen and get jobs done for you.

0:19.0

Now, there's a whole bunch of interesting things and features that they have added that I think might give them a bit of a competitive advantage. I'm going to be breaking that down. But before I do, if you want to get access to all of the different AI models I talked about on the show, including perplexity, go check out my own startup, which is AIbox.ai. I've recently overhauled the entire site and we've

0:38.4

recreated it from the ground up. If you've tried in the past, I'd love for you to try it again.

0:43.0

For $8.99 a month, you get access to over 40 of the top AI models all in one place. You can

0:49.1

test them against each other. For the first time ever, we're adding some music capabilities to

0:53.1

our platform from 11

0:54.6

labs, if you'd like to be able to also generate music with AI. So go check it out. It's only $8.99 a

1:01.0

month. The link is in the description to AIbox.a. All right, let's talk about what's going on

1:06.2

with perplexity. So what their highest tier gets access to, and perplexity's highest tier, I believe, is like

1:12.8

$200 a month. So you're not going to get this if you're just a $20 a month user. This is not a

1:17.8

cheap use case. So it's their perplexity max plan. Because it's also running entirely in the cloud,

1:24.4

they say that it can avoid a lot of security risks that have happened to

1:28.2

local device level agents like OpenClaw. And essentially, this is in their own description,

1:33.8

a tool that, quote, unifies every current AI capability into a single system. So basically,

1:38.9

this is a cloud-based computer using agent. It can execute complex workflows independently. It's orchestrating 19 different

1:45.6

AI models. And it can even spin up what they are saying are sub-agents to tackle, you know,

1:50.3

specific sub-problems. I think there is no hands-on demo that they've provided to anyone yet,

1:55.8

but they've shown some examples of the workflows on their website. And basically, they're showing the system kind of going

2:02.2

around. It's gathering financial, legal, statistical data. It's conducting a bunch of multi-step
