Comet
Perplexity's AI browser: conversational search and agents that act on the web for you.
Ease of Use
Comet is the AI-first browser launched by Perplexity in 2025 and generally available in early 2026. Unlike Chrome or Safari, Comet isn't a classic browser with an AI bolted on — it's a rebuild where the AI agent is the navigation engine.
You state an intent ("compare the 5 best CRMs for SMBs, open the pricing tabs, give me a summary table"), Comet runs the chain: search, read sites, open tabs, extract prices, generate the table. All while respecting your existing cookies and sessions (no blind scraping).
Comet is free for Perplexity Pro subscribers ($20/mo) and offers a limited preview for free users.
