:robot: The Hidden Chatbot That Doesn’t Need You to Download Anything

There’s a new AI assistant that doesn’t need a browser, an app, or your email address. It runs inside WhatsApp. It answers your questions, sets reminders, generates images, and even talks back—all through plain old messages. It’s called Perplexity, and somehow, it works better than half the apps on your phone.

:hammer_and_wrench: How to Start Using It

No sign-up. No app download. Here’s what to do:

  1. Tap this link to open Perplexity in WhatsApp:
    https://api.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=18334363285

  2. Say:
    hello

  3. Try these working examples:

    • Remind me to drink water every 3 hours
    • Summarize this article: https://example.com
    • Generate an image of a llama in a suit
    • What’s the difference between a proxy and VPN?
    • Translate and explain: “Carpe diem”
    • Send me 2 news headlines every morning at 7AM

:bullseye: What It Can Actually Do

  • Answer regular questions like a chatbot
  • Summarize web pages and paste-in text
  • Generate images from written descriptions
  • Fact-check forwarded messages or myths
  • Schedule daily, weekly, or custom reminders
  • Translate and explain things in multiple languages
  • Accept voice notes and reply in voice
  • Send recurring news updates or productivity tips
  • All inside WhatsApp chat, no app-switching needed

Generate a realistic image of an astronaut at a wedding
Fact check this: You swallow 8 spiders a year while sleeping
Translate “peace” into Arabic and explain its use

:chart_increasing: What Makes It Stand Out

  • It’s instant—no account setup
  • Voice input/output works in chat
  • No learning curve: just message like you would a friend
  • Doesn’t need a fancy phone or latest iOS
  • Operates in airplane Wi-Fi (as long as WhatsApp is allowed)

:brick: Things You Should Know

  • Group chats are not supported yet.
  • Long messages may get trimmed—ask in shorter chunks.
  • Some complex images might return errors if overloaded.

:soon_arrow: Features Coming Soon

  • Meme and video clip generation
  • Group support
  • Smart replies inside WhatsApp groups
  • Integration with Perplexity’s own browser called Comet

:beverage_box: Why It’s Worth Trying

It’s not another AI clone with fake hype. It’s simple. It works. It replies fast. It doesn’t ask you to “sign in with Google.” And it runs in WhatsApp, where you already are anyway.

:ring_buoy: Final Thought

Perplexity inside WhatsApp is like asking Siri a question and actually getting a useful answer—without yelling three times.
