Perplexity launches Comet, the AI browser that acts like a smart agent

Perplexity has just introduced Comet, a groundbreaking browser that aims to reinvent the way we navigate the web using artificial intelligence. Comet isn’t just a browser — it’s a proactive AI agent that explores, reads, summarizes, and guides you online as if you had an intelligent co-pilot by your side.

What is Comet?

Comet is an AI-powered browser, built on top of Chromium (the same base as Chrome), but directly integrated with Perplexity’s search engine and AI platform. That means every query, page visit, or click is enriched by large models like GPT‑4.1, Claude, Gemini, and even Grok.

The goal? To deliver smart browsing, where users can ask complex questions, receive instant summaries, discover trusted sources, and move faster.

What’s new?

• Proactive interaction: Comet doesn’t just wait for your input — it learns from your behavior and suggests sources, highlights, and next steps.
• Multi-model engine: it runs multiple AI models in parallel, letting users compare answers and perspectives in real time.
• Privacy-focused: no ad tracking, and queries stay local whenever possible.
• Limited release: currently available only for Pro subscribers of Perplexity.

Why does it matter?

Comet represents a shift from passive tools to autonomous AI agents that actively assist users across the web. This marks a transformation of the browser — from a static interface to a dynamic, intelligent assistant.
