The post Perplexity launches assistant with AI agent features for Android appeared first on Android Headlines.

Perplexity's new Android assistant is said to handle tasks like booking, reminders, and emails, using real-time web data in 15 languages.

Google says the new multimodal Gemini feature is available to all Gemini users on the web, Android and iOS.
