Perplexity Computer can now run parts of an online shop

4 November 2026, 00:24 · 2 sources · Curated by Sara Simeone

Perplexity says its Computer agent can now work across Shopify, Meta ads and Klaviyo: analysing your store, building landing pages, creating and uploading Meta ads and setting budgets, and drafting Klaviyo emails, with your approval needed before anything is sent. It's on paid plans (Pro from $17 a month billed yearly, Max $167). I haven't tested it.

Why it mattersIf you run a small e-commerce store, try it first on analysis and drafts. Keep approval on for anything that spends ad money or emails customers.
