Perplexity AI Comet is an advanced, AI-powered web browser built on the Chromium framework, engineered to integrate artificial intelligence at the core of the browsing experience. Comet natively embeds large language models LLMs and agentic automation into its runtime, enabling a fundamentally new way to interact with the web.
Comet is designed to function not just as a browser, but as an intelligent partner—capable of understanding, reasoning, and autonomously acting on user goals. It leverages both local and cloud-based AI models to deliver real-time, multimodal, and citation-supported answers, and can automate complex web tasks with minimal user input.

Perplexity Comet has Agentic Automation. Users can define a goal (like Renew my driverʼs license) and Comet will autonomously browse, extract, and synthesize content, executing 15+ manual steps that would otherwise be required in a conventional browser.
Real-Time, Citation-Based Answers: Comet pulls live data from the web, providing up-to-date, accurate answers with source citations for every response.
Comet supports text, voice, and image inputs. Users can upload screenshots or documents for instant analysis (e.g., summarizing a research paper image, identifying objects in photos).
It delivers personalized, context-aware responses based on user preferences and browsing history.
It can summarize lengthy documents or webpages in seconds, transforming research and productivity workflows.
It is a Chromium-based browser. Comet supports existing Chrome extensions and Progressive Web Apps PWAs
