Perplexity Comet is a browser from Perplexity with an AI assistant built in. It is available for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android. The Comet Assistant works inside the browsing session and can understand pages, compare how different news outlets cover a story, draft an email reply that shares an upcoming schedule, create a study plan from a syllabus, build a basic website, or buy a comfortable and inexpensive office chair. A Resource Hub lists what can be delegated, from wrangling inboxes to ordering groceries, staying on top of finances and planning vacations.
Comet is for people who spend much of their day in a browser and would rather hand off routine work: professionals clearing a busy inbox, students building a study schedule, researchers comparing sources, shoppers looking for a specific product, and anyone planning travel. It suits users who already like Perplexity search and want that experience as their default browser, and it works across desktop and mobile, so the assistant is available on a laptop or a phone. The FAQ covers installation, default browser setup, privacy controls and safe browsing.
A reader can open an article and ask how different outlets are covering the same event. An employee can ask the assistant to draft a reply that shares their upcoming schedule, then review it before sending. A student can paste a syllabus and get a plan for the week before a test. A homeowner can describe the kind of office chair they want and have the assistant handle the shopping steps. Someone planning a vacation can delegate research and itinerary tasks, and a hobbyist can ask for a basic website to be built for them.
