Perplexity is primarily an AI experience. MySamantha is primarily a productivity workspace.
Perplexity is excellent at research, giving fast answers with citations you can check. MySamantha is built for a different job: keeping your Notes, Tasks, Journal, Email and Calendar in one personal workspace, with an optional assistant inside.
Choose Perplexity if…
You want a research tool that answers questions with sources and helps you explore topics quickly.
Choose MySamantha if…
You want a home for your own work, with notes, tasks, journal, email and calendar together, AI optional, and bring your own key supported.
The architectural difference
Perplexity organizes the world's information into answers. MySamantha organizes your own information into a workspace and lets you choose how much AI touches it.
Let’s stop wasting time copy-pasting between apps.
Create Rules. Get Alerts.
Set custom alerts, and Samantha notifies you when the right email, message, or keyword appears, so the important ones reach you.
Your life is connected, not scattered.
Email, calendar, events, maps, and photos are part of the same workspace, so Samantha can work with them directly when you ask her to.
Bring Your Own Key
Connect your own API key if you prefer, and use the model access you already pay for. The workspace is designed so it does not depend on a single model provider.
Smart Recall across your workspace
Ask Samantha to find something from last week, and she can search your notes, journals, and tasks because they live in the same workspace.
An assistant with somewhere to put the answer.
Most assistants stop at a reply. Samantha can write the note, create the task or move the meeting, because the workspace is already hers to act in.
