Perplexity has officially launched its in-house web browser Comet, which is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and includes a native search engine and various AI features.
The company revealed that the browser's most prominent feature is a “sidebar assistant” that can derive information from all opened tabs to answer user queries, summarise pages, and even perform certain actions on their behalf.
Notably, the Perplexity Comet is currently only available to Max subscribers, while the AI firm has also opened a waitlist to eventually expand the feature to other users.
Perplexity rolls out Comet browser
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the official handle of Perplexity shared a short video highlighting the capabilities and features of the AI-powered web browser. At launch, it will only be available to Perplexity's $200 a month, Max subscribers.
On Comet, users can access the same search engine that powers the Perplexity platform. That means when searching for topics, users will find answers in a similar layout.
In addition, the company also added an AI-powered sidebar assistant that can assist users across multiple tabs and projects.
The assistant also comes with agentic capabilities. Perplexity says Comet can book a meeting, send an email based on something a user found during the browsing session, or buy something, and it will be able to do so.
