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.'

Perplexity, known for their AI-powered search, have announced their plans to release 'Comet', a new web browser that aims to revolutionise browsing.

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

Perplexity AI, a leader in AI-powered search technologies, announced an intriguing addition to its product lineup

Perplexity released a teaser of its AI web browser "Comet". This browser is likely to include a new feature called Agentic Search, although the company has not yet revealed its launch date, but has started a waitlist for interested users,

Another new Web browser is about to be released. Since it is Perplexity.ai behind it, the market can expect something different than usual this time. One novelty in the new browser, called Comet, is that Perplexity is incorporating agentic search.

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

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.

"Though the space is crowded with competitors, no one has yet built a robust AI integration into the browser experience in a way that takes off with consumers," said Damian Rollis
