Comet by Perplexity AI: A New AI-powered Browser That is More Personal, Powerful, and Productive

The internet is our greatest source of information. Most of us spend multiple hours a day browsing the internet to research information or work online. You could be using Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera Browser, or Mozilla Firefox. It is a highly competitive space where trillion-dollar companies are constantly competing against each other.

What is different in 2025 is that it is no longer just about search engine-optimized (SEO) content and keywords; we are in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous AI agents. Your content needs to be more than just keywords, as AI is smart and capable enough to filter through content to find exactly what you are looking for.

Comet by Perplexity AI, a new AI-powered web browser

Why am I giving such a long story? Well, you may have heard of Perplexity AI, an AI-powered answer engine that finds cited answers from the internet, giving you the most relevant answers to your question. Perplexity AI has finally launched Comet, its AI-powered web browser, to its Max users.

According to Perplexity, Comet's goal is to change the often-chaotic experience of browsing into a more fluid and intuitive conversation. The AI-powered web browser understands what you're trying to do and actively helps you with different tasks like planning a trip, researching a complex topic, or just trying to make sense of a long article. As we said, the AI-powered web browser is currently available to Perplexity Max subscribers, with a gradual rollout to a waitlist over the coming weeks.

You can think of Perplexity's AI-powered Comet browser as:

• A Partner in Thinking: Perplexity Comet is built to learn how you work so it can help you organize your research and online life, to prevent you from getting lost in tabs or forgetting the thread of an idea.

• AI on Every Page: Perplexity's AI is integrated directly into the browser, available on any website you visit. This allows you to instantly summarize articles, compare products, or even get explanations of complex subjects without leaving the page.

• Focused Workflow: The AI-powered web browser can help you stay in your flow, helping you with tasks that typically need switching between multiple apps or tabs, such as going through your inbox, preparing for meetings, or taking notes.

• AI-powered Search: Perplexity AI's Comet is an AI-powered browser, meaning it uses its AI abilities to find he most accurate information. You may be able to ask it for research and comparison of insurance plans, and it would handle the multi-step process for you.

Comet feels like a response to how people really use the internet today, not how browsers were developed decades ago. Progression is important, but we were stuck in the SEO rabbit hole. Instead of treating every tab as an isolated destination, Comet sees your web activity as part of an ongoing train of thought, making web browsing less passive and more actively engaging.

Perplexity AI's Comet is a browser built with the capabilities of modern AI features, making your browser more personal, powerful, and productive. This browser might be the progression we needed, and maybe it won't change how the web works, but it just might change how you work with the web.

If you like the idea of an AI-powered web browser that is not from a trillion-dollar corporation, then you can join the waitlist for the Comet AI-powered browser from Perplexity.
