Perplexity AI Assistant Promised to Order Food… and then...

What happens when AI says it’ll do something for you - and then doesn’t follow through? In this video, I share my firsthand experience using Perplexity's AI assistant, which confidently offered to order food on my behalf. I accepted, intrigued and hopeful… but things took an unexpected turn. This wasn't just a glitch - it raised bigger questions about how ready AI really is to handle real-world tasks, especially ones that involve personal services and real-time action. As small businesses explore automation and customer interaction through tools like Perplexity, it's important to know both the capabilities and limitations of these assistants. Whether you’re an early AI adopter or just curious about the hype around tools like Perplexity, this video is a fun and informative look at the reality behind the AI promises.
