Perplexity, a company dedicated to advancing human curiosity through trustworthy information, has officially launched Comet, a groundbreaking web browser engineered for today’s dynamic, knowledge-driven internet experience.
Unlike traditional browsers that were built for an era of simple web navigation, Comet is purpose-built for how users engage with the modern web—by thinking, learning, and seeking answers in real-time. Over the past three decades, the internet has evolved beyond mere browsing. It’s now the primary space where people live, work, explore ideas, and make critical decisions. However, the tools we use to interact with it haven’t kept up with that transformation.
Comet addresses this gap by reimagining the browser as an intelligent assistant that empowers users to interact with the web in a more fluid, intuitive way. Instead of managing cluttered tabs or toggling between apps, Comet transforms entire sessions into natural, context-aware conversations.
We built Comet to let the internet do what it has been begging to do: to amplify our intelligence.
From Navigation to Cognition
At the heart of Comet is an AI assistant that actively supports users throughout their sessions. Whether comparing products across sites, revisiting a past article, or diving deeper into complex concepts, Comet acts as a cognitive partner that reduces friction and enhances focus.
Ask Comet which other sites have the same bike but ship it faster. Ask Comet to compare what you’re reading to something you already read.

From Answers to Action
Comet goes beyond search—it executes. From scheduling meetings to purchasing items and sending emails, Comet handles tasks based on user intent, eliminating the need for repetitive workflows and scattered tools.
With Comet, you don’t search for information—you think out loud, and Comet executes complete workflows while keeping perfect context.
From Believability to Accuracy
Powered by Perplexity’s foundational commitment to trustworthy answers, Comet is designed to support informed decision-making in high-stakes contexts. Whether evaluating insurance options or understanding emerging technologies, users can rely on Comet for high-accuracy, explainable insights.
Accurate answers are the foundation of decision-making. This will compound in importance with agentic AI, when assistants make decisions for us, faster and more often.
From Consumption to Curiosity
True to Perplexity’s mission to serve the world’s curiosity, Comet turns any webpage into an interactive experience. Users can highlight content to receive real-time explanations, explore new ideas without losing context, and receive proactive guidance tailored to their interests.
Ask Comet what you’re missing. Ask Comet for counterpoints. Ask Comet where you should explore.
Comet is designed to learn how users think—so it can think with them. This launch marks a significant leap in making the web not just a tool for information retrieval, but a partner in thinking, creating, and problem-solving.
