Perplexity’s agentic AI browser, Comet, is now available for free to Mac and Windows users. Previously, it was exclusive to Perplexity Max subscribers. Now, anyone can download it to make browsing and research easier.
2. Completely different from traditional browsers:
Comet doesn’t offer a tabbed interface like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. Instead, it features a workspace that consolidates all the information you need for your work, projects, and research into one place. It functions like a digital office.
3. Comet Assistant—Your AI Assistant:
Comet’s most distinctive feature is its AI-powered assistant. You can use it to ask questions, summarize content, or navigate any webpage. This feature makes your everyday internet tasks faster and smarter.
4. Personalized Suggestions and Intelligence:
Comet tracks your browsing patterns. It notes what you’re reading and working on and provides you with relevant content and new suggestions based on that. This makes research and online learning easier and faster.
5. Separate AI Assistant in Each Tab:
Each new tab in Comet comes with its own AI assistant. This means you can ask different questions and work on different projects simultaneously, without any confusion.
6. Discover and Special Tools:
Comet has a Discover feature that gives you personalized news, articles, and content recommendations. Additionally, there are tools like Shopping Assistant, Travel, Space, Finance, and Sports, which help with both work and information.
7. Limited Features for Free Users:
Some features, such as Email Assistant and Background Assistant, are currently only available to Max subscribers. Email Assistant drafts your emails to match the tone of your email, and Background Assistant works on your system while you’re doing other tasks.
8. Inactive Tab Management and Reminders:
Comet automatically closes inactive tabs and reminds you of information from the previous session. This feature helps you manage your time and tasks.
9. Work-Focused Browser:
Comet is specifically designed for users who use the internet daily for work, research, projects, and business. It makes the search and browsing experience smarter and more productive.
10. Advanced Technology and Smart Automation:
By overcoming the clutter and time-consuming process of traditional search engines, Comet adds AI support and automation to your browsing experience. This not only saves time but also makes using the internet while working easier and more convenient for users.
