Perplexity released Comet as its first web browser on July 9, 2025. The browser sets Perplexity’s AI search engine as the default. It delivers text-based summaries of search results instead of a list of links. Comet also includes a built-in AI assistant called Comet Assistant that lives alongside any web page.

Key Features of Comet

Comet opens with the AI search field front and center so users can ask questions in natural language. The browser preloads Perplexity’s core product and shows cited answers on every search. Comet Assistant appears in a side panel. It can read the current page and answer questions about its content. It also handles routine tasks such as summarizing emails, reviewing calendar events, and managing open tabs.

Data privacy is built into Comet. The browser stores user data locally by default. Perplexity says this appeals to people who worry about handing everything to large tech companies. Users can control what the assistant accesses before granting permissions.

Availability and Pricing

At launch, Comet is available to subscribers of Perplexity’s Max plan at two hundred dollars per month and to a small group of invitees from the waitlist. The subscribers will gain early access and will also influence the completed product by giving their feedback. Perplexity will make it available in the market in the long run, but has not fixed a clear release date.

Comet in the Broader Browser Market

Comet is a new competitor in the emerging surf of AI-first browsers. Google Chrome has rolled out its AI mode, and The Browser Company offers Dia. OpenAI is also said to be planning its own browser in the coming weeks. Perplexity believes Comet’s tight integration of its AI search and assistant brings a fresh approach to browsing and could drive strong user retention.

Perplexity’s Growth and Ambitions

Perplexity recently closed a large funding round that valued the company at fourteen billion dollars. Nvidia, Accel, SoftBank Vision Fund Two, and other investors have backed the startup. This capital will support Comet’s development and help Perplexity scale its user base beyond the thirty million people who use its search products each month.

Comet makes AI search and task automation a native part of the browsing experience. As users explore the web, they gain answers in context and can offload routine chores to Comet Assistant. With its launch, Perplexity takes a bold step toward reshaping how people find information and get things done online.
