GroupMe + Perplexity integration
Connect GroupMe to Perplexity
ConnectChats brings your GroupMe chats into Perplexity. Ask Perplexity to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Perplexity can do with your GroupMe
ConnectChats gives Perplexity a small set of tools. Perplexity calls them when you ask about your GroupMe chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Perplexity reads your unread GroupMe chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Perplexity searches your GroupMe history and quotes the message.

Draft replies
Perplexity writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own GroupMe account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

How to connect GroupMe to Perplexity
It takes about two minutes. You do it once, and the same account then works in every AI app you add.
-
Add ConnectChats to Perplexity
- In Perplexity, open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom remote connector.
- Paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth sign-in.
- Perplexity opens the ConnectChats sign-in page, where you sign in with your passkey.
-
Link your GroupMe account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then GroupMe.
- Sign in to GroupMe and allow ConnectChats to access your groups.
- Your chats then appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.
-
Pick the chats Perplexity can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Perplexity never sees the rest.
-
Ask Perplexity about your GroupMe
Open a new conversation in Perplexity and ask about your chats. Perplexity calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How GroupMe and Perplexity work together
ConnectChats connects to your GroupMe account through GroupMe's public API. You sign in to GroupMe, allow ConnectChats to access your groups and choose which chats your AI app can see.
-
GroupMe in ConnectChats
Groups and direct messages are both supported. GroupMe works with SMS for members without the app. Those members' messages come through like any other. You can stop sharing a group with your AI app at any time from the dashboard. Messages your AI app sends go out from your own account, after you approve them.
-
ConnectChats in Perplexity
Perplexity adds custom remote connectors on its paid plans, and ConnectChats works as one. Add it once, sign in with your passkey, and Perplexity can search the chats you share alongside the web. Custom remote connectors in Perplexity need a paid plan. On Enterprise, an admin has to allow members to add them. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Perplexity without linking them again. ConnectChats only sees the chats you choose to share, and it asks for your approval before any reply is sent.
Your GroupMe stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Perplexity only sees the GroupMe chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Perplexity prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches GroupMe, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
