Perplexity is steadily advancing its e-mail assistant, broadening its appeal with new features and temporary free access for pro users. Under the surface, recent builds of the Perplexity platform reveal a “Meeting Preferences” section within the assistant’s settings, still hidden from public access, which points to a wider set of meeting automation tools in development. The upcoming options are expected to let users toggle automatic recording of meetings, enable the assistant to join certain meetings on its own, and specify recipients who should receive a recap after the session concludes. These features are positioned to serve professionals and teams who want to streamline meeting documentation and follow-up, cutting down on manual note-taking and coordination.
The meeting recap function draws clear parallels to Google Meet’s Gemini-powered notes and summary tool, suggesting Perplexity is moving toward parity with leading workplace assistants. If Comet Assistant can eventually take autonomous action in meetings, rather than just record and summarize, this could expand its use for project management, scheduling, or action item tracking. However, for now, the leaked functionality is focused on recording and distribution, with no timeline announced for rollout. The company has made no official statement about these features, so their availability and scope remain speculative.

For Perplexity, these additions would fit the company’s broader strategy to differentiate by offering more proactive, integrated workflow tools. The current assistant already helps parse and respond to e-mails, and these meeting-centric upgrades would deepen its role in daily business operations, especially for teams already leveraging Perplexity’s research and summarization capabilities. As competitors like Google and Microsoft push further into AI-driven productivity, Perplexity’s iterative upgrades signal its ambition to secure a foothold in the evolving workplace assistant landscape.
