What if your morning news read itself to you? That’s now possible — thanks to Perplexity on WhatsApp.
Perplexity, the popular AI-powered chatbot, just made your WhatsApp smarter. You can now get news summaries as audio podcasts. Yes, it talks! And it all happens right inside WhatsApp. No new apps. No complex steps.
What Can Perplexity on WhatsApp Do?
You can send Perplexity a message like:
“Send me a summary of top tech news every morning at 8 AM.”
Perplexity will then send a message at that time, every day. But here’s the best part:
It can read the news aloud — like a podcast. Perfect when you’re cooking, driving, or just lazy to read.
How to Set It Up
It’s super easy:
-
Save this number: +1 (833) 436-3285
-
Open WhatsApp and start a chat
-
Type a message like:
“Send me a daily news summary at 7 AM as an audio podcast.”
You’ll get a voice message every day at that time with the latest news summary.
Want to change the time? Just say “Change reminder to 10 AM”.
Want to stop? Say “Delete task.”
No App Needed, but One Small Catch
Everything works inside WhatsApp. No need to download anything.
But to schedule tasks, you need a Pro or Enterprise subscription.
Still, normal Q&A and news summaries by text are free.
Also, this works only in private chats, not groups (yet).
Why This Matters
Perplexity is turning WhatsApp into your personal AI assistant. It’s not just answering questions anymore — it’s reading you the news, managing reminders, and making daily life smoother.
It’s especially helpful for people who don’t want to read long articles or are always on the move.
With this update, Perplexity just made AI simpler, more useful — and totally hands-free.
