A growing number of users are opting for AI tools to get answers and summaries. Perplexity AI, a popular AI-powered answer engine, has made its chatbot available directly through WhatsApp. It means you no longer need to open a separate app to get help from the AI assistant.

To start using it, save this number: +1(833)436-3285 to your contacts and send a message on WhatsApp. You will be able to ask questions, receive links to sources, generate images and a lot more inside the WhatsApp chat. Competitors like OpenAI have already adopted a similar approach.

This process is similar to the way users interact with ChatGPT on WhatsApp. Meta, however, offers a native experience on WhatsApp and the company recently launched its Meta AI app.

The Perplexity service is accessible across smartphones, desktop computers and laptops, including through WhatsApp Web.
