Description

Try Perplexity Computer (I'm working with Perplexity on this one to give you an honest look): https://ntck.co/perplexity Perplexity Computer is a $200/month AI system that orchestrates 19 frontier models, runs in the cloud while you sleep, and builds real apps from a single prompt. I built my own AI system — 103 skills, multiple models, AI employees — and didn't want to like it. But after building 7 real projects from my phone in Japan, I have to be honest about what happened. In this video, you'll learn how Perplexity Computer works under the hood — Firecracker micro VMs, multi-model orchestration, sandboxed sub-agents — and see real projects built from scratch: a gaming website, a cult investigation dashboard, a self-improving Japanese learning app, and more. Whether you're evaluating AI coding tools or looking for the fastest way to turn ideas into real apps, this honest review covers the good, the bad, and the real credit costs. --- Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: https://ntck.co/NCAcademy --- RESOURCES / LINKS: 🌐 Perplexity Computer: https://ntck.co/perplexity 💻 Keith Arcade (play the games I built): https://keitharcade.networkchuck.video 💻 Konbini Quest (Japanese convenience store RPG): https://konbiniquest.networkchuck.video 💻 Yellow Deli Files (the cult investigation): https://yellowdelifiles.networkchuck.video 💻 Blockbuster POS Simulator: https://blockbuster.networkchuck.video Cost Subsidy report: https://github.com/NetworkChuckTeam/539-perplexity-computer-use 📖 Perplexity Computer Launch Blog: https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/computer 📺 My AI Employee video (OpenClaw): https://youtu.be/T-HZHO_PQPY 📺 My Personal AI Infrastructure video: https://youtu.be/MsQACpcuTkU --- TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - I built my own AI system and didn't want to like this 2:18 - What is Perplexity Computer and how does it work 3:00 - Building a Blockbuster POS system in one prompt 3:39 - How the orchestrator routes your prompts to 19 models 4:46 - Firecracker micro VMs and sandboxed sub-agents 6:36 - Self-improving apps that run while you sleep 7:43 - Building a full gaming website for my kids 9:44 - Why my ideas started pouring out 11:03 - I accidentally found a cult in Japan 12:30 - How much Perplexity Computer actually costs 14:06 - Everything else I built with Perplexity Computer 14:50 - What my kids built on their own 15:25 - My honest verdict on Perplexity Computer --- **Sponsored by Perplexity --- SUPPORT NETWORKCHUCK: ☕☕ COFFEE and MERCH: https://ntck.co/coffee READY TO LEARN?? 🔥🔥Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: https://ntck.co/NCAcademy 📚 CCNA Course: https://ntck.co/ccna FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/networkchuck/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/networkchuck Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NetworkChuck/ Join the Discord server: https://ntck.co/discord Some links in this description are affiliate links.

How can it be honest if it's sponsored?

Spending $200/month for this would have me rethinking my life choices too.

Perplexity is involved in a massive class action lawsuit as of last month for sharing information without user consent. Do what you will this information but I for one won’t use their products.

I used Perplexity Computer and it's great -- but the credits go FAST and it's expensive as hell

Very cool but ain't no way I'm paying 200+ bucks per month. I still enjoyed the video. I love watching you nerd out about some cool new tech stuff.

Nice touch dropping the camera in the bottom of the coffee machine to get the shot of you pulling out the can

Putting your camera in the machine, placing camera across the street. I always think about what it looks like to others passing as you film this because it’s just funny to me. Good work chuck. Keep being happy. You inspire and thank you for what you do. Always keep this fun for yourself
