Perplexity has introduced the Comet browser, equipped with AI tools like an AI assistant that can interact with users through a unique sidebar.
Comet is initially available to some subscribers of Perplexity's $200-a-month Max plan, offering features like summarizing articles, RSVP functions, and vacation itinerary organization.
Despite the AI browsers' attempt to compete with mainstream platforms like Chrome, their widespread adoption remains uncertain, especially due to factors like high subscription costs and existing market dominance.
Other players in the AI browser space include OpenAI, Opera, Microsoft, and Google, with the challenge of convincing users to switch and competing against each other and established browsers like Chrome and Safari with AI enhancements.
