Comet is Perplexity's Chromium-based AI browser that runs the answer engine and a personal assistant inside the browsing surface.
Comet is the AI browser from Perplexity that embeds the company's conversational answer engine directly into the page-rendering surface. The browser ships with built-in assistant capabilities for automating routine tasks, summarizing open tabs, organizing email and calendar, and conducting cited web research without leaving the active page.
The product is positioned for consumers who want an AI-native alternative to traditional browsers from Google and Apple, and it serves as a distribution channel for Perplexity's Pro and Enterprise subscriptions. Comet launched in 2025 and expands the surfaces where Perplexity meets users beyond the standalone search portal and mobile apps.
