Perplexity launches tasks feature, here’s everything you need to know

Perplexity has launched a tasks feature on WhatsApp, allowing users to schedule daily tasks within the largest messaging app. You can ask the AI on WhatsApp to provide you latest news from all around the world right inside this app.
Users can conduct generative text conversations with the Perplexity on the platform, but its tasks feature allows you to repeat the prompt at a certain time. For example, you can ask Perplexity to send you “top 10 news about AI every morning”.
A bot message in the chat will confirm the task’s creation along with the description for final verification. You can also modify and remove a task from the button below Perplexity’s reply. To access the new feature, you need to message Perplexity on +1 (833) 436-3285.
Here are a few more examples of tasks:
- Send me a daily morning briefing with the top 3 news stories and my calendar events at 7 AM.
- Remind me every weekday at 3 PM to take a short break and stretch.
- Create a weekly to-do list every Monday morning based on my upcoming deadlines.
- Help me schedule my workout sessions for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 6 PM.
- Every Friday at 5 PM, draft a summary email of my week’s meetings and tasks.

Perplexity Tasks
To be mentioned, Perplexity AI on WhatsApp works in one-on-one chats, and is not available for group chats, which might come in the future.
Users should know that Perplexity AI is free for basic features like text conversation and summaries. However, task scheduling will require a Pro or Enterprise subscription, starting at around $20 per month. Unfortunately, tasks are available only on WhatsApp and web browser versions, while Perplexity mobile apps don’t offer this feature.
A week ago, xAI also released the tasks feature for Grok users on the web platform. This feature works in a similar way but comes with a more versatile interface. Check more information about this feature here.
