WHAT IS PERPLEXITY COMET?
An agentic browser from the maker of Perplexity
Perplexity Comet is an AI-native browser built around a continuous AI session. It can search the web, shop, manage calendars, draft emails, and control browser actions through natural-language instructions and voice commands.
Agentic browsing
Give Comet a task—like research a topic or compare products—and it navigates, reads pages, and returns an answer.
Voice-first interaction
Talk to the browser conversationally instead of typing every query or clicking through links.
Search & service integrations
Comet connects with Perplexity search, PayPal, Google services, and more to complete end-to-end workflows.
THE FULL PICTURE
Where Comet shines—and where it slows down
Comet is an ambitious step forward, but it is not the only AI browser. Understanding its boundaries helps you choose the right tool.
Strong search integration, voice commands, and a polished onboarding for users already in the Perplexity ecosystem.
Advanced capabilities can sit behind Pro tiers, model choice is tied to Perplexity, and complex workflows run in a single session.
Power searchers who want an AI assistant tightly coupled with Perplexity and are comfortable with its subscription model.
