Perplexity has also introduced its Email Assistant, aimed at reducing the time professionals spend in their inbox. Available exclusively to Max plan subscribers ($200/month), the tool works with Gmail and Outlook and can:
-
Prioritise and sort emails
-
Compose natural, personalised responses
-
Schedule meetings directly from the inbox
Importantly, Perplexity assures that the assistant does not use private emails for training. Instead, it adapts to the user’s tone and writing style, maintaining both privacy and authenticity.
The company has emphasised that user data remains confidential, with no email content stored or reused for training. Both Comet and Email Assistant will receive regular updates, with plans to extend compatibility and add new AI-powered features in the coming months.
