Perplexity, the US-based AI company, announces the launch of an all-new iOS Voice assistant to support a wide range of actions in iPhones through Perplexity’s app. Using the iOS voice assistant, users can complete multi-step actions on browsers, including booking reservations, sending emails,  and calendar invites, all through Perplexity’s iOS app. 

Besides searching the browser, the new update ropes in media applications like YouTube and others, allowing users to play music, podcasts,  and other media. This marks the entry of Perplexity in the agentic domain, wherein the chatbot goes on to perform tasks on behalf of the user without any user intervention. The multi-step performance makes it much more interesting to see how it evolves.

Perplexity iOS Voice Assistant: Search Made Easier

The voice assistant doesn’t even need you to tell the exact name of the podcast or media, certain specific hints regarding personality, or the conversation. Consequently, it pulls the needed results from across the web. This makes the hassles of searching and pondering on webpages simple and seamless, powered by the speed and understanding of AI.
