"Perplexity is bringing its AI directly to white-collar workers' inboxes with an automated assistant that can review and organize emails, and respond to messages in an approximation of their human users' voices. Email Assistant, , connects directly with Gmail or Outlook via a user's desktop or mobile email app to perform a wide range of monotonous tasks, like suggesting meeting times based on calendar availability and generating summaries of disparate but related message threads."
"This mirrors a feature within Comet -- Perplexity's AI agent-powered web browser designed to compete with Chrome and other legacy browsers -- which can summarize content found on a particular web page. It can also auto-label messages by type, tell you when your next meeting is with a coworker by searching your inbox, and order priorities. Email Assistant joins a growing list of pricier AI tools, including ChatGPT Pro, aimed at professionals on enterprise budgets."
"Its capabilities look similar to some of Gemini's in Gmail, including Personalized Smart Replies, finding information via a natural-language search, and organizing priorities. Gemini can also help users declutter their inboxes with a single command to delete emails from a specific sender, though Perplexity's assistant doesn't list that as a feature. Email Assistant is SOC 2- and GDPR-compliant and is not trained on user interactions, according to Perplexity."
