Comet, Perplexity's AI-powered web browser, is now available for users subscribed to the company's $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription.
The browser integrates AI models into the web browsing experience, offering features like using Perplexity as the default search engine and enabling users to execute tasks like summarizing text, sending emails, or looking up directions.
Perplexity's search results are generated by AI, similar to ChatGPT and Gemini, but there are concerns about the accuracy of the information retrieved.
The company aims to leverage web browsers to gather user data for targeted ads, with plans to potentially acquire Chrome, highlighting the industry's focus on making web browsers the primary interface for AI.
Perplexity will be sending invites to individuals on the Comet waitlist during the summer, while interested users can sign up on the company's website or access the browser immediately by subscribing to Perplexity Max.
