ty releases new AI email assistant for writing, summarizing and more It works 
across Gmail and Outlook, and promises big productivity gains However it will 
only be available as part of a subscription costing $200/month 

Perplexity has introduced a new AI tool designed to act as a personal AI 
assistant to turn emails into actionable insights, but it comes at a cost. 

Although in isolation, the new Email Assistant tool might not seem so pricey, 
its only available to Perplexity Max subscribers, meaning a combined monthly 
bill of $200. 

Perplexity says Email Assistant can draft email replies in your tone and 
style, handle back-and-forth scheduling, add meeting to your calendars, 
provide summaries of emails and meetings, and lets you ask questions about 
your inbox. It also organizes emails with smart labels, and works across 
Gmail and Outlook. Email Assistant for Perplexity Max 

For existing subscribers, Email Assistant adds more value to the high-tier 
plan, which includes unlimited Labs, early access to new features and 
advanced model options, but for non-subscribers, its a very expensive option 
for a modest boost in productivity. 

The productivity benefits arent entirely clear, with Perplexity boasting that 
users could see a productivity boost of 3-18x per day  a big range. 

But, importantly for companies (who are likely the biggest subscribers), SOC 
2 and GDPR compliance ensures maximum data privacy, and Perplexity promises 
never to train on user data thanks to enterprise-grade encryption. 

To interact with the Email Assistant, users must either email 
assistant@perplexity.com or CC the address in threads. The email assistant 
knows it's you and gets right to work, Perplexity said. 

All of that being said, Perplexity isnt the only company offering generative 
AI assistance within the email environment, and its far from the cheapest. 

Googles Gemini already integrates with Gmail to summarize email threads, find 
information in inboxes and craft responses. Microsofts Copilot also 
integrates into Outlook for scheduling, taking action, summarizing and more.
