Tired of drowning in email? Perplexity’s new Email Assistant is here, transforming your inbox from a chaotic stream of messages into actionable tasks, scheduled meetings, and clear priorities.
Available exclusively to Perplexity Max subscribers, this AI-powered assistant integrates seamlessly with Gmail and Outlook to revolutionize how you handle email.
How it works#
Getting started is surprisingly simple: Max subscribers just email [email protected] from their own inbox. The assistant recognizes you immediately and starts helping right away.
Core features#
🏷️ Organize#
Automatically tags emails with smart labels like “Needs Reply,” “FYI,” or “Action Required” so you can focus on what actually matters instead of scanning through everything.
✍️ Compose#
Drafts responses that match your personal tone and writing style. You get AI-generated replies that sound like you wrote them — just review and send, or edit as needed.
📅 Schedule#
Handles the tedious back-and-forth of meeting coordination. It manages scheduling conversations, finds mutual availability, and syncs everything directly with your calendar.
🔍 Search & Summaries#
Provides daily email summaries and instant retrieval of key emails or meeting details. No more hunting through threads to find that important message from last week.
Privacy & security first#
Perplexity emphasizes that your email data remains secure throughout the process. The assistant is “built with security and privacy in mind” from the ground up, supporting both Gmail and Outlook with enterprise-grade protection.
Why this is different#
Most email tools just pile on more features, making the problem worse. Perplexity’s approach actually reduces cognitive load by:
- Intelligent filtering that surfaces what needs your attention
- Automated routine handling for scheduling and standard replies
- Contextual understanding that creates useful summaries and search
- Personal adaptation that learns your communication style over time
The real test#
This isn’t just another email client or plugin. It’s an AI assistant that understands email as a workflow system, not just a messaging platform. By handling the mechanical parts of email management, it frees you to focus on the conversations and decisions that actually matter.
Getting access#
The Email Assistant is available now to Perplexity Max subscribers. To get started:
- Make sure you have a Perplexity Max subscription
