Perplexity Comet isn't the first AI-powered web browser to arrive. That honor goes to Dia, but thanks to the popularity of Perplexity as an AI-enabled search engine and chatbot, it's getting a lot of attention. It deserves it.

Perplexity AI unveils Comet, an AI-native browser to rival Chrome. With agentic AI, privacy-first design, and powerful features, it redefines web browsing.

The idea is to reduce the need for users to visit third-party sites or apps, either to access information or an AI chatbot.
