iPhone users can now talk to Perplexity

Perplexity has rolled out voice assistant support for its iOS app, letting users perform tasks like writing messages, setting reminders, and starting restaurant bookings by voice.

Perplexity has updated its iOS app to support its conversational AI voice assistant, enabling Apple users to perform tasks like writing emails, setting reminders, and making dinner reservations. The voice assistant is now available on both iOS and Android devices.

The assistant allows users to ask it to set reminders, send messages, and more. For instance, users can ask Perplexity to set a reminder, and it will prompt for permission to access reminders before completing the task. It can also craft text messages, requiring access to contacts, and can be given a phone number verbally if contact access is declined.

Introducing Perplexity iOS Voice Assistant

Voice Assistant uses web browsing and multi-app actions to book reservations, send emails and calendar invites, play media, and more—all from the Perplexity iOS app.

Perplexity‘s voice assistant can interact with other apps, such as OpenTable for restaurant reservations and Uber for ride requests. However, these actions are not end-to-end; users will still need to complete the process within the opened app. The voice assistant has some limitations on iOS, including the inability to use the camera for visual context or set scheduled alarms.

The Android version of Perplexity’s voice assistant launched in January, with the iOS version following after obtaining necessary permissions from Apple. Perplexity’s assistant can function on older devices, unlike some AI features promised for Siri with Apple Intelligence.

Some of the features demonstrated include:

  • Setting reminders: Perplexity can set reminders after gaining the necessary permissions.
  • Crafting and sending messages: It can compose messages and requires contact access or a verbally given phone number.
  • Making reservations: Perplexity can open OpenTable and enter reservation details verbally.
  • Requesting rides: It can open Uber and set up a ride request.

While Perplexity’s voice assistant offers various functionalities, it lacks certain features available on other AI assistants, such as visual context through the camera. Nonetheless, users can still utilize the text-based chatbot for tasks like asking questions about images.
