Perplexity Opens Comet AI Browser to Max Subscribers by Invitation

Built on Chromium, it embeds AI agents for summarization under local data storage controls.

Overview

  • Access is limited to Perplexity Max subscribers who join an invite-based waiting list at $200 per month, with Pro and public rollouts planned.
  • Comet uses the Chromium engine to support Chrome extensions and standard web technologies for seamless compatibility.
  • Integrated AI agents can summarize web pages, draft emails, book travel and organize meetings directly in the browser interface.
  • Privacy settings include an integrated ad blocker, complete data-sharing opt-out and local storage of personal information to prevent external use.
  • Every AI-generated response displays a clickable citation to its source, while early user feedback highlights occasional hallucinations in complex tasks.
