I tried Perplexity's assistant, and only one thing stops it from being my default phone AI
Briefly

Perplexity AI has launched a mobile assistant for Android phones that enhances user experience by integrating with other applications. This allows users to perform chained commands, such as playing media, setting reminders, and sending messages. Initial trials by users show promise, though limitations exist—like the absence of calendar integration. The assistant, while still refining its location accuracy, has shown capability in fetching relevant local information, demonstrating its potential as a robust personal assistant without the need for a subscription, unlike competitors.
I asked Perplexity to make a list of the best local date-night restaurants and text them to my wife... it identified where I was and produced a much better list of restaurants in Charlotte, NC.
Perplexity lets you use it as a digital assistant, integrating with other apps to chain commands, allowing tasks like booking rides and sending texts.
