24 deals monitored heading into the weekend.
On major players front, Perplexity AI has unveiled its boldest move yet: “Computer,” a multi-model agent orchestration platform coordinating 19 AI models to run complex, long-duration workflows in the background. Available to Max subscribers at $200 per month, the launch signals CEO Aravind Srinivas’s belief that AI’s future lies not in one dominant model, but in specialised systems working together. By treating models as interchangeable tools — like search, browsers or file systems — Perplexity aims to position itself as the orchestration layer for the next era of AI, rather than just another model provider.
A few UK deals today - including Dwelly raising £69m equity (from General Catalyst) + debt for its AI-led platform applied to acquiring and streamling lettings companies, aiming to become one of the largest independent rental agencies in UK. Will be interesting to see if this is a great example of a new generation of roll-up plays consolidating operations with AI driven workflows.
