Perplexity launches Comet, an AI-powered web browser

Started the first to be confused on Wednesday AI-Powered Web Browser called CometTo celebrate their latest efforts to celebrate the latest efforts, the main avenue uses the online data to find online information online.

At the beginning, Comet First a small invitation group, which signed a waiting list, as well as a small invitation subscribers.

Comet’s title feature is a search engine that has created a summary of the company’s main product, a summary of the company’s main product, pre-installed and defined and defined standard.

Users can aim to automate the Comet Assistant and Ordinary Tasks, a new AI agent living in the browser. It says confusion, assistant can manage their email and calendar events, signs and manage websites on behalf of users. Users can access a Sidecar on any website that allows you to see the AI ​​agent on the web page and answer questions about it.

The confusion has left several products and initiatives in recent months, but none of them do not feel relatively. The CEO of the company Aravind Srinivas, especially pleased the start of Comet, maybe he sees it is life in the fight against Google.

With Comet, confusion, the most popular browser currently aims to reach users directly from Google Chrome. While EU-energetic browsers present an unchanged area for many users Google itself seems to be guided by this direction browsers: The search giant placed several AI integration into Chrome Not to celebrate in recent months AI modeAn AI search product with a surprisingly amazing similarity.

Srinivas In March, he said “To develop an operating system you can do almost everything,” the target with a comet. Being a standard browser for users can translate to “infinite catch” In June, he saidThis will lead to more requirements for confusion.

He said: “The comet enters an arena of crowded. Google Chrome and Apple’s Safari, most of the market, browser company A browser with EU-power, DIAIn June, this offers many of the same features as a comet. It was reported to be Openai It is considered to start your own browser to compete with GoogleAnd even in the last year, some basic members of the original Google Chrome team also hired.

COMET If a meaningful part of confusion users registered for the product, the browser can get an initial foot in the wars. Srinivas recently said that the confusion was 780 million inquiries in May 2025 and increased by more than 20% of the company’s search products.

Google is not a small business taking a search, but confusion has a correct idea by launching his browser. However, the startup team can be more difficult to persuade users to cross the browsers rather than out of google search.

Hands with a comet

The most unique side of this browser looks like a comet assistant. During our test, we found the AI ​​agent of Comet a surprising way for simple assignments, but when more complex desires are given to each other. Using the Comet Assistant to its full potential requires you to hand over a concerned level against confusion.

The favorite way of using a coming assistant is downloaded to Sidecar while viewing the Internet so far. The on-browser can automatically see what I look at the EU agent, so I can ask you to open a new window or copy and paste text or links or asking the text or links. It’s true and always has the context because I always looked.

Comet Assistant was able to answer questions about social media, YouTube videos and sentences I wrote in a Google document. I imagine that this will facilitate work flows for millions of people who send links to screenshots, files and chatgpt all day.

Then, I tried to get a comet assistant to look at my Google Calendar. But before I could do it, I had to give a lot of access to my Google account – a lot of access. Just look at how much this list is.

I give you an confusion permission to allow my screen, send emails, viewing my contacts and add events to the calendar and bothered me a little. However, AI agents seem to need such access to be useful.

Nevertheless, the Comet Assistant did a good job looking at my calendar. He told me about some approaching events and gave me a few advice on how to leave my house and walk in public transit to reach these events.

The auxiliary was also able to summarize the e-mails I received from the Senders, which I added. Important startup and technological companies with the upcoming news. I saw that AI agents have a very difficult time analyzing with what is important in an email box, but the Comet Assistant worked very well.

However, the comet assistant fails in more complex positions. For example, in finding a long-term parking lot in the airport of San Francisco, I tried to ask for a long-term parking lot for the upcoming trip, which is good reviews that cost less than $ 15 per day.

Several variants visible in accordance with the auxiliary criteria, so I wanted to order me in one place for the dates I will be far away. The agent navigated the parking lot for me, entered the history, and even some information, and then asked me to do.

It turned out, the Comet Assistant was stalemnated and entirely in the wrong dates, then the dates I wanted later, but still wanted to complete the inspection anyway. I told the AI ​​agent that I would need to ask history to find another place. Again entered the same problem.

AI agents that mix the basic details like this are not new. I have experience with Openai’s agent, operatorand Previous shopping agent of confusion yielded similar results. It is clear that these products are clear in the conversion of real tools, halucinations. Until AI companies can solve them, AI agents will still have an innovation for complex tasks.

Nevertheless, the comet offers a number of new opportunities that can be a foot on competition in modern browser wars.
