Perplexity introduces Comet – More than just a browser

Perplexity, known for its AI-powered answer engine, has introduced its own browser. The browser is called Comet and is intended to demonstrate what browsing could look like in the age of artificial intelligence. The release comes at an exciting time: just a short time ago, Reuters reported that OpenAI also plans to launch a browser in a few weeks. Comet is therefore not just a product, but also a statement.

Since its founding, Perplexity has repeatedly made it clear that it's not just about search results, but about a new understanding of information access. Now the company is taking it a step further and launching Comet, a web browser that integrates artificial intelligence directly into the browsing experience. This isn't just another product, but a clear challenge to Google's previous dominance in web search.

A browser with integrated AI assistant

Comet is based on Chromium and uses Perplexity as its default search engine. It includes a sidebar with an AI-based assistant. This assistant can summarize web pages, answer questions, and perform tasks—such as booking hotels, ordering products, or writing emails. According to CEO Aravind Srinivas, Comet aims to transform entire browsing sessions into seamless interactions. This transforms the browser into a tool that not only delivers information but also takes action.

Exclusively for Perplexity Max

At launch, Comet will be available only to users of the new Perplexity Max subscription. The subscription costs $200 per month. Access is currently only available via a waitlist on the Comet website . A wider release is planned but not yet scheduled. The initial target audience will be power users and companies willing to invest early in new technologies.

Technical details and compatibility

Comet currently runs on macOS and Windows. The browser supports importing Chrome extensions, bookmarks, and personal settings—all with one click. Its Chromium foundation ensures that familiar web technologies remain usable, while the new AI features open up additional possibilities.

Strategic context and search engine competition

Comet is coming at a time when Perplexity is gaining significant market presence. The company recently entered into a partnership with Motorola, is discussing similar collaborations with Samsung, and is offering Perplexity Pro for free through international carriers. The goal is to gain market share in web search—at Google's expense. Perplexity has also been mentioned in the ongoing antitrust case against Google. Eddy Cue, a senior vice president at Apple, stated that Apple has considered Perplexity as a possible search engine for Safari. A Bloomberg report even suggests that Apple has explored a full acquisition of the company .

Interest in Chrome

Perplexity is closely monitoring the antitrust situation surrounding Google. Should Google be forced to sell the Chrome browser, Perplexity has already expressed interest in a takeover. Until then, Comet offers a functional alternative with full support for Chrome features.

Comet is intended to be more than a browser

The company plans to regularly expand Comet, focusing on AI features that go beyond traditional browsing. Plans include advanced agent functions that can perform tasks autonomously. This will transform the browser into an assistance system that actively works in the background.

Comet as part of the larger Perplexity strategy

Comet isn't just a new browser, but part of a larger strategy from Perplexity. The company aims to position itself as a genuine alternative to Google – with its own products, collaborations, and an active market strategy. Whether Comet will sustainably change the everyday lives of internet users remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: It's heading in the right direction, and its ambitions are ambitious.
