Backed by NVIDIA and other major investors, Perplexity’s move into the browser market marks a significant shift in how artificial intelligence is being integrated into everyday digital tools. And it’s not alone—OpenAI is reportedly close to unveiling its own browser, signaling a full-blown AI battle in the browser space.
What is Comet and Why Does It Matter?
Unlike traditional browsers that rely on user input and navigation, Comet functions like an intelligent digital agent. It doesn’t just display web pages—it thinks, acts, and performs tasks on behalf of the user.
Users can engage with Comet in a conversational format, asking questions, conducting research, comparing products, summarizing large volumes of information, and even scheduling meetings—all within a unified AI-driven interface. This move aligns with Perplexity’s larger vision of agentic AI, where the browser actively makes decisions to simplify the user’s digital experience.
Currently, Comet is available to Perplexity Max subscribers for a premium fee of $200 per month (approximately ₹17,200), with broader availability expected through invitation-based access later this summer.
AI Browsers: The Future of the Web?
With OpenAI’s upcoming browser expected to rival even Google Chrome, industry watchers are calling this the beginning of a new web paradigm—one where users no longer just browse, but collaborate with intelligent systems in real time.
The rise of AI-powered browsers like Comet represents a fundamental rewrite of what it means to interact with the internet. Instead of being a passive navigator, the user becomes a co-pilot in a smart, adaptive environment capable of handling nuanced, complex digital tasks.
