Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Perplexity AI has launched an assistant within its Android app.
“This marks the transition for Perplexity from an answer engine to a natively integrated assistant that can call other apps and perform basic tasks for you,” Perplexity Co-founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas said in a Thursday (Jan. 23) post on X.
The new Perplexity Assistant can help users with tasks like booking dinner, finding a forgotten song, calling a ride, drafting emails and setting reminders, Perplexity AI said in a series of posts on Threads.
“Assistant uses reasoning, search and apps to help with daily tasks ranging from simple questions to multi-app actions,” the company said in one post.
