Introducing Comet: Browse at the speed of thought
Blog post from Perplexity
Perplexity has launched Comet, an AI-powered web browser designed to replace fragmented tab-based browsing with a contextual assistant that helps users research, compare information, explain concepts, and complete online tasks through natural-language interactions. Positioned as a shift from passive browsing to active thinking, Comet can conduct multi-step workflows such as finding products, booking meetings, sending emails, preparing daily briefings, and evaluating decisions while retaining context across a session. The company emphasizes that reliable, accurate answers are central to the browser, particularly as AI agents take on more decision-making responsibilities, and says Comet can encourage curiosity by offering explanations, counterpoints, related topics, and personalized assistance based on how users explore the web. Comet is initially available to Perplexity Max subscribers, with invite-only waitlist access planned to expand gradually over the summer, while the company intends to add features and refine the product through user feedback and ongoing AI advances.
