Perplexity Assistant

Perplexity Assistant, launched in 2026, transforms Perplexity from a search engine into a full AI agent that can take actions on your behalf. While Perplexity already excelled at answering questions with citations, the Assistant feature can now book flights and hotels, make restaurant reservations, shop online, schedule meetings, fill out forms, and manage subscriptions. It works through a secure browser session, navigating websites and completing multi-step tasks while you watch or do other things. The Assistant handles authentication securely, never storing passwords, and confirms actions before making purchases. It integrates with your calendar, email, and common services. Available exclusively to Perplexity Pro subscribers, it represents the next evolution of AI assistants: from answering questions to actually getting things done.
