Perplexity has launched Comet, a new AI-powered browser designed to enhance curiosity, automate workflows, and deliver accurate answers. Comet blends cognition, conversation, and action into one seamless web experience, rolling out now to Perplexity Max subscribers via invite.

Hyderabad: Perplexity, the AI research company known for its obsession with accuracy and curiosity-driven design, has launched Comet, a revolutionary AI-powered web browser. Built to match the demands of the modern internet, Comet promises to move users from browsing to thinking, offering seamless, intelligent interaction and decision-making across the web.

Launched today for Perplexity Max subscribers, Comet will roll out via invite-only access through the summer, with new users receiving limited invites to share.

Over the past 30 years, the internet has evolved from a place to browse or search into a space where people work, learn, create, and live. Yet, browsers remain largely static—reliant on tabs, hyperlinks, and interfaces that often disrupt a user’s mental flow. Comet aims to change that by making the internet feel like an extension of the human mind.

From browsing to cognition: Comet as your AI thinking assistant
At the heart of Comet is an intelligent assistant that not only answers questions but also executes tasks. Whether comparing product prices across sites, summarizing complex concepts, or booking meetings, Comet turns multi-tab browsing sessions into fluid, AI-driven conversations.

Users can highlight any text for instant explanations, search within context, and dive deeper into ideas without losing their original focus. With Comet, even mundane tasks like sending emails or analyzing options become part of a seamless thinking experience.

Accuracy meets action
Perplexity emphasizes accurate and reliable answers as foundational to Comet’s utility. With trillions of dollars of decisions made online daily, the browser is engineered to provide well-sourced, verifiable insights. This accuracy becomes even more critical as agentic AI gains momentum, making more decisions on behalf of users.

“Comet is like a second brain, helping users make better choices through trustworthy information,” the company noted.

A curiosity-first philosophy
Comet is designed not just to serve information, but to spark curiosity. Whether exploring tangential ideas or seeking counterpoints, the browser tailors itself to how each user thinks, building a personalized and proactive experience over time.

The future of browsing starts now
Perplexity says this is just the beginning. Future updates will introduce more AI features, smarter workflows, and new tools to help users harness the full potential of the internet.

“The future belongs to those who never stop asking questions,” the team said in its announcement. “We’re curious to see what you’ll ask of Comet.”
