Perplexity has rolled out My Email Assistant, a smart AI-powered email companion designed exclusively for its Max subscribers. Unlike stand-alone email apps, this assistant integrates directly with your existing inbox to streamline communication and reduce routine work. Here’s everything you need to know about Perplexity’s AI email assistant, how it works, and what sets it apart.
What is Perplexity’s AI Email Assistant?
Perplexity defines its new tool as an in-product service that connects directly with Gmail and Outlook accounts. Instead of just offering generic replies, the AI assistant adapts to a user’s unique communication style. It helps draft professional emails, organize your inbox, highlight important messages, schedule meetings, and even respond to queries all while sounding like you.
The assistant also syncs with your calendar to propose suitable meeting times, saving professionals valuable hours each week.
How Does Perplexity’s Email Assistant Work?
To activate the feature, Max subscribers simply need to send an email to assistant@perplexity.com from their registered account. Once connected, the AI steps in to:
- Draft and send responses in the user’s tone
- Prioritize and flag important messages
- Organize cluttered inboxes
- Suggest and schedule meeting times based on calendar availability
Unlike many AI utilities, Perplexity’s assistant learns from patterns in your email interactions instead of relying on static templates. This makes responses feel more personal and relevant.

Privacy and Security Measures
Perplexity emphasizes security by ensuring that the assistant is SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. The company also clarifies that user data is not used for training purposes, addressing a key concern among professionals and enterprises adopting AI tools.
Comet AI Browser Now Available for Pro Users in India
Alongside the email assistant, Perplexity has expanded access to its Comet AI browser. Previously limited to Max subscribers, the browser is now available for Pro users in India on both Mac and Windows platforms.
The Pro subscription is priced at approximately ₹17,000 per year, but Airtel customers can take advantage of a one-year free subscription thanks to a recent partnership with Perplexity.
Why It Matters
With inboxes becoming increasingly overwhelming, Perplexity’s AI email assistant offers a smarter way to stay organized and save time. By mimicking users’ writing style and aligning with their schedules, it positions itself as more than just a productivity tool and it’s a personalized AI companion for modern professionals.
