Comet, Perplexity’s AI-powered web browser, is available now for people paying for the company’s $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. The company offered the browser in a beta form for select Windows users in June, but now it’ll join Google Chrome and The Browser Company’s Dia in incorporating AI models directly into web browsing experience.
At its simplest, Comet is a streamlined browser (built on Chrome’s browser tech) that uses Perplexity as its default search engine. At any point you can call up the company’s AI in a sidebar to ask questions, summarize text, and critical to the company’s pitch for the future of AI, take actions for you, like sending an email, looking up directions on Google Maps or purchasing a product.
Perplexity’s search results pull information from the web into AI-generated answer, just like ChatGPT or Gemini, with all of the doubts around accuracy that implies. Like its competitors, Perplexity has crawled the web for training data to feed its AI and has even been sued by publications for allegedly allowing its search engine to reproduce news articles in their entirety when prompted.
