Perplexity Comet
Appearance
Comet is an AI-powered[1] web browser based on Chromium. It was launched by Perplexity AI in July 2025.[2]
Initially, access to the browser was limited to users subscribed to the highest, most expensive subscription tier, with broader availability expected over time.[3] The browser was later released for free download in October 2025.[4] A key feature of the browser is the integration of the Perplexity search engine,[5] which enables users to perform a variety of tasks such as generating article summaries, describing an image, conducting research about a topic and composing emails.[6]
Some of its key features include:
- a built-in AI agent able to answer questions about open web pages, summarize content, and perform other tasks;
- unified search: Perplexity's AI search engine integrated as the default search engine for accurate, verified information;
- browser commands allowing users to manage tabs and perform actions using natural language;
- contextual awareness: access to your browsing history and open pages to retrieve relevant information and learn your habits;
- seamless import: compatibility with most websites, easy import of bookmarks and extensions from other browsers like Google Chrome.[7].
