Step aside, Siri: Perplexity's new AI voice assistant for iPhone can take it from here

There's a new AI in town threatening to take over your territory. The latest version of Perplexity's iPhone app introduces a new voice assistant designed to perform a variety of tasks. Many of these tasks are typically reserved for Siri, as they are not only interactive but can also access key information on your phone. Just like Siri, you can ask Perplexity's voice assistant to set a reminder, schedule a calendar event, play a song from Apple Music, open a podcast, and get directions via Apple Maps. Simply tell it to perform any of these tasks, and Perplexity will interact with the appropriate app or feature and display the results.
