"Perplexity first launched Comet to subscribers of its $200-per-month Max plan three months ago, and since then, "millions" have signed up on the waitlist to download the browser. Comet's main feature is a sidecar assistant that joins you while you browse, helping to answer any questions you may have about the web page you're on, summarize content, manage web content, and navigate web pages on your behalf."
"For free users, Perplexity's Comet browser experience is still limited to the sidecar assistant. All users can also access different tools like Discover (personalized news and content recommendations similar to OpenAI's new Pulse); Spaces (to organize and manage different projects); Shopping (assists in comparing prices and finding deals across online retailers); Travel (offers aggregated information on travel destinations, flights, accommodation, etc); Finance (tools for budgeting, tracking expenses, monitoring investments); and Sports (updates on scores, schedules, and news)."
Perplexity is making the Comet browser available worldwide for free while offering paid subscribers an optional background assistant to handle multiple tasks. Comet's defining feature is a sidecar assistant that answers questions about web pages, summarizes and manages content, and navigates pages. Free users can access tools such as Discover, Spaces, Shopping, Travel, Finance, and Sports. Max-tier subscribers gain access to higher-performing AI models and an email assistant that drafts replies and matches user tone. Perplexity faces competition from incumbents like Google Chrome, newcomers like Dia, and an upcoming OpenAI browser, making reliable agentic performance crucial for user adoption.
