AI Search Startup Perplexity Launches Its Web Browser, ‘Comet’, Challenging Google
IBL News | New York
AI startup Perplexity — known for its AI-generated summaries of search results — unveiled its web browser, called Comet, in its battle against Google, aiming to reach users directly without having to go through Chrome, the leading navigator.
For now, Comet will be available to subscribers of Perplexity’s $200-per-month Max plan, as well as a small group of invitees who signed up for a waitlist.
This web browser includes a new AI agent, Comet Assistant, a toolbar intended to summarize emails and calendar events, manage tabs, and navigate web pages.
Recently, Google has deployed several AI integrations into Chrome, along with its AI mode, an AI search product that bears a resemblance to Perplexity.
OpenAI is also considering launching its own browser to compete with Google, having hired key members from the original Google Chrome team in the last year.
Techcrunch, which tested the performance of Comet, wrote that “it does seem to offer some new capabilities that may just give Perplexity a leg up over the competition in the modern browser wars.”
