Perplexity AI has been gaining attention lately, and after testing it for myself I can see why. In my new VoiceOver Pro video, I explore whether this app could really be a smarter, faster alternative to Siri. Perplexity can take multiple requests at once and return clear results all in one response. For example, I asked for the weather in three different cities, and it came back with a full summary including wind speeds and temperatures for each location in seconds.  

Beyond simple answers, I showed how Perplexity can interact with your apps. It can create calendar events, edit or customize them, and even delete them when plans change. It also connects with reminders so you can manage tasks hands-free. One of the most impressive parts was watching it compose and send an email. I gave it instructions, asked for edits, and it customized the message before sending it out to the contact I named. That’s something Siri still struggles to do consistently.  

So that raises the big question: is Perplexity the next Siri? For now, Siri still has the advantage of being built into Apple’s ecosystem, but Perplexity shows what voice assistance could become. It’s fast, flexible, and feels like a glimpse of where Apple’s own AI might be headed.
