Perplexity launches Comet, an AI-native web browser for desktop

Perplexity/Comet

Perplexity launched Comet, a Chromium-based browser with Perplexity's assistant integrated into page interactions. It launched as a $200/month add-on for Perplexity Max subscribers and later went free. Comet lets users ask questions about open pages, summarize content and compare information across tabs.

• Launched as paid beta for Max subscribers; freed in late 2025
• Chromium-based, runs on Windows and macOS
• Agentic model: understands pages, takes actions, compares tabs
• Reduces copying/pasting between browser tabs and search
