- Perplexity launches a new AI email assistant to write, summarize and more
- It works in Gmail and Outlook, and promises great productivity profits
- However, it will only be available as part of a subscription that costs $ 200/month
Perpleplexity has introduced a new AI tool designed to act as a personal assistant to convert emails into processable ideas, but has a cost.
Although in isolation, the new email assistant tool may not seem so expensive, it is only available for perplexity Max subscribers, which means a combined monthly bill of $ 200.
Perplexity says that the email assistant can write answers by email in his tone and style, handle the round trip programming, add meetings to his calendars, provide summaries of emails and meetings, and allows him to ask questions about his entry tray. It also organizes emails with smart labels, and works in Gmail and Outlook.
Email assistant for perplexity max
For existing subscribers, the email assistant adds more value to the high -level plan, which includes unlimited laboratories, early access to new features and advanced model options, but for non -subscribers, it is a very expensive option for a modest impulse in productivity.
The benefits of productivity are not entirely clear, with perplexity that boast that users could see a productivity impulse of 3-18x per day, a large range.
But, what is more important for companies (which are probably the largest subscribers), the fulfillment of SOC 2 and GDPR guarantees the maximum privacy of the data and the promises of perplexity of never training the data of the users thanks to the encryption of business degree.
To interact with the email wizard, users must send an email to [email protected] or CC address in the threads. “The email assistant knows what you are and you are right,” Perplexity said.
Said all this, perplexity is not the only company that offers generative assistance of AI within the email environment, and is far from being the cheapest.
Gemini of Google is already integrated with Gmail to summarize email threads, find information on entrance trays and craft responses. Microsoft’s co -pilot is also integrated into outlook to program, take action, summarize and more.
