While Perplexity claims to have fixed the prompt injection vulnerabilities in Comet, recent security reviews show the issue is not entirely resolved. It remains unclear what robust mitigation strategies are in place, so users should be cautious, especially when handling sensitive data through automated email assistants.
As we embrace these new AI automation trends, it is crucial for everyone to exercise caution and stay vigilant, as the industry is still uncovering effective mitigations and security frameworks needed to safely navigate this emerging era of artificial intelligence.
Does this mean the assistant has full access to all my emails? That feels risky.
The assistant processes emails securely within Gmail or Outlook environments. Perplexity has emphasized enterprise-level compliance. Still, it is smart to set clear rules on what it should handle many teams start by automating only routine communication before expanding.
Thank you
I can see value for sales, but what about small teams that don’t deal with hundreds of emails?
Even small teams benefit when repetitive scheduling and replies are handled automatically. The gain is less about scale and more about reclaiming focus. For some, one saved hour per week already justifies adoption.
Thank you
Honestly, inbox assistants sound nice, but don’t they just add another layer of complexity?
Fair point. The risk is real if adoption is not planned. The difference here is that the assistant works inside existing email platforms instead of introducing a new app. That lowers friction and keeps workflows simple.
Couldn’t this just make people more dependent on automation and less capable of writing their own messages?
That’s a fair point. Using automation for short, polished replies can save time, but if it’s overused, people might rely on it so much that they lose confidence or practice in expressing themselves naturally. The key is balance—automation can handle repetitive or routine responses, while personal, thoughtful communication still benefits from a human touch.
That risk exists with any tool, but the value here is time saved on routine exchanges. Critical or sensitive communication will always stay human-led. The assistant is about removing friction, not reducing capability.
True fact :)
Sounds promising, but what happens if the assistant drafts the wrong tone in a reply?
Good point. Drafts are meant for review before sending. Teams usually define a preferred style up front, so the assistant aligns with it. Over time, the accuracy improves as patterns are reinforced.
