Perplexity Computer can do way more than most people realize, and in this video I'm showing you six advanced features that completely changed how I work. From connecting your real apps to building automated workflows that run while you sleep, you'll see exactly how to turn Perplexity Computer into your own AI digital worker. This is the follow-up to my beginner's guide, and we're going much deeper this time. I'll walk you through connectors that plug into over 400 apps like Gmail and Slack, custom skills that let you program Computer's behavior without writing any code, and powerful data analysis that cleans messy spreadsheets and builds full reports in minutes. You'll also see how Computer can fact-check a business document like a senior adviser, how to chain multiple deliverables into a single prompt, and how to set up automated tasks that run on a schedule every day. Every demo in this video comes with the exact prompts I used so you can try it yourself.

About This Video

In my last video I covered the basics of Perplexity Computer—this time I go deeper and show you the advanced features that actually changed how I work. Perplexity Computer isn’t a chatbot that just gives you text. It’s an AI digital worker that can take actions in your real apps, and in this walkthrough I demo six big upgrades: connectors (400+ apps like Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Notion), custom skills you can “program” with plain English, and real data analysis that runs actual code (so it’s computing, not guessing). I show how connectors eliminate the repetitive app switching we all do—like searching Gmail, summarizing a newsletter, and drafting an unsubscribe email (and it always asks for confirmation before sending). Then I build a reusable “YouTube Script Helper” skill that researches a topic, creates titles, timestamps, and a full script outline automatically. From there, I upload a messy CSV and have Computer clean duplicates, standardize names and dates, analyze ratings, generate a PDF report, and even publish an interactive dashboard you can share with a link. The part that made my jaw drop is document review and fact-checking with track changes, plus “multi-chain” prompts where one prompt creates multiple deliverables (brief, comparison table, dashboard, slide deck). I finish by setting up scheduled tasks that run every day—like an 8am AI news briefing—plus my pro tips for getting better results.
