Overview

  • Perplexity AI announced plans for Comet, a Chromium-based web browser designed to support 'agentic search' capabilities.
  • Agentic search refers to AI tools that can perform complex tasks, such as making reservations or purchasing items, autonomously within the browser.
  • The company has opened a waitlist for Comet but has not disclosed a release date or specific feature details.
  • Perplexity's move into the browser market comes as it faces competition from established browsers like Chrome and AI-focused alternatives like Dia.
  • The announcement follows Perplexity's recent launches, including a deep research tool and an AI-powered assistant for Android.
