Perplexity has announced a new web browser, Comet, featuring “Agentic Search” capabilities**.** This strategic move marks Perplexity’s expansion beyond search functionalities, aiming to integrate AI seamlessly into everyday browsing experiences.
Currently, no additional details or demo videos of the Comet browser are available. However, we speculate that it will be a Chromium-based browser with Perplexity’s AI search integration. Interested users can join the waitlist https://www.perplexity.ai/comet here.
Agentic Search
Perplexity is marketing Comet as an “Agentic Search” browser, suggesting that it will feature native AI support with capabilities such as intelligent search, deep research, autonomous browsing, content generation and summarization, and customizations. Other AI-driven features, such as price comparison, news analysis, and automated report generation, might also be included.
The Arc browser by The Browser Company is another AI-powered browser with similar ambitions. However, we anticipate that Comet will be more focused on search, which is Perplexity’s core product.
Moreover, Perplexity recently launched a new AI assistant for Android devices, offering a range of features that aim to compete with existing digital assistants like Google’s Gemini.
