Comet Browser Launches AI-First Experience for Android Users Powered by Perplexity

Experience a new way to browse with Perplexity's AI-powered Comet Browser. Designed to seamlessly blend AI capabilities with everyday browsing, the Comet Browser lets you interact using voice commands through its integrated Comet Assistant. Whether you want to summarize lengthy articles, multitask with multiple tabs, or get smart recommendations, Comet makes it effortless.

AI-Centric Features That Transform Your Browsing

Unlike traditional browsers like Chrome or Edge which add AI features as extensions, Comet is built with AI at its core. The primary mode of interaction is either typing or speaking directly to the AI prompt. One of its most compelling aspects is the Comet Assistant's ability to act as an Agentic AI, handling tasks for you.

For instance, you can ask Comet to locate the best airfare deals to Paris next month or compare guitars you're considering for purchase to find the best value. You can also command it to summarize complex documents—a 10-page PDF, for example—and email the summarized insights to your manager automatically.

Powered by Perplexity AI Search Engine

Comet leverages the Perplexity AI search engine as its default search tool. Instead of simply presenting a line of links, Perplexity provides in-depth, source-cited answers. Its voice-controlled mode enhances hands-free browsing, searching, and navigation. With integration for apps like Gmail and Google Calendar, Comet can assist with organizing your schedule and managing your inbox efficiently.

After just one day on the Play Store, the Comet: AI Browser earned a solid 4.4-star rating from 1,470 user reviews. If you want to explore further, the Perplexity app is also available for iOS users via the App Store. Tap here to download.

Initially launched on desktop last July, Comet required users to subscribe to an expensive Perplexity plan or wait on a waitlist. Fortunately, as of last month, this barrier was removed, making the browser freely accessible to all Android users.
