Perplexity on Wednesday launched its first AI-powered web browser, called Comet, marking the startup’s latest effort to challenge Google Search as the primary avenue people use to find information online.

Perplexity's Comet uses Perplexity as its default search engine and offers agentic capabilities for performing tasks on user's behalf

Comet extends Chromium with a set of Perplexity-powered AI features. The company’s namesake search engine is set as the default option for users. Additionally, a sidebar provides access to an AI assistant that can automate a wide range of browser actions.
