Perplexity launches an assistant for Android


AI-powered search engine Perplexity has launched an "agent," of sorts, called Perplexity Assistant, only on Android for now.

That allows the assistant to do things like remind you of an event by finding the right date and time and creating a calendar entry, Perplexity says. For instance, our testing found that Perplexity’s shopping feature, designed to let users place an order without going to a retailer’s website, tended to be slow and error-prone. The launch of Perplexity Assistant comes just days after Perplexity rolled out Sonar, an API service that lets enterprises and developers build the company’s generative AI search tools into their own applications and acquired a social media platform for professionals called Read.cv.
