Back in April, the Perplexity AI chatbot was introduced on WhatsApp. Features like answers, sources, and image generation were introduced initially, while last month the fact-check capability was also added to Perplexity AI on WhatsApp. With the help of the fact-check capability, users can forward a WhatsApp message to Perplexity and verify its genuineness.
Aravind Srinivas, the CEO of Perplexity, today announced that you can now schedule tasks with Perplexity on WhatsApp.
