AI-powered search engine Perplexity says it's building its own web browser. It'll be called Comet, and it's set to arrive 'soon.'

It has recently been expanding its offerings—for example, it recently launched a deep research tool competing with similar ones provided by OpenAI and Google, as well as Sonar, an API for generative AI-powered search.

Perplexity, founded in 2022, is the creator of an AI-powered search application that’s focused on providing real-time information. When prompted, it searches the web for the most up-to-date information, but instead of producing a series of links, it responds to users in a way that’s more like ChatGPT.

Perplexity has hinted at the launch of its new agentic web browser, Comet, and is now allowing interested users to sign up for early access.

In a post to X on Monday, February 24, Perplexity announced Comet, describing it as “A Browser for Agentic Search by Perplexity”. Clicking through from that post allows you to sign up to be among the first to use the browser when it becomes available. There’s no word on when that will be just yet

The company is offering scant details about this browser called Comet, so I asked Perplexity AI for more information.

Perplexity has teased the launch of Comet, an upcoming AI-driven web browser designed to enhance internet browsing through agentic AI capabilities.

Perplexity AI, led by Aravind Srinivas, is set to launch a new browser named Comet, aimed at providing an agentic search experience. While a teaser has been released, details about its features and release date remain unclear amid Google's market dominance.
