Perplexity is no longer content with simply answering your questions. The company now wants to reshape how you interact with the entire web. Today it introduced Comet, a new browser designed to think with you instead of just showing you pages.
Comet is available starting today for Perplexity Max subscribers. That subscription costs $200 a month. Access is rolling out slowly and users will be able to invite others as the summer continues.
The goal of Comet is to shift your experience online from clicking and switching to thinking and flowing. Traditional browsers are built around tabs and links. Comet focuses instead on context and conversation. Rather than bouncing between apps and sites, users stay within a unified interface that adapts to how they think.
The browser includes an integrated assistant that handles tasks as you explore. You can ask it to compare product listings across stores, find related topics, schedule a meeting, or summarize what you’re reading. It works quietly in the background, reducing friction and keeping you focused.
Perplexity also claims that Comet is built with privacy in mind. The company says your data is only stored locally and is never used to train its models. That makes the assistant feel more personal without compromising trust. As you use it, Comet begins to understand your thinking style and supports you more effectively over time.
Accuracy is another major focus. With so many decisions now made online, Perplexity believes AI tools must be grounded in reliable information. Comet is designed to help users explore topics deeply and make informed choices, whether they are researching health insurance or understanding a new technology.
Perplexity sees Comet not as a browser in the traditional sense but as a thinking tool. It wants users to stop browsing and start reasoning. The company says this is only the beginning, with more features and improvements on the way.
The price tag will keep most people from trying it immediately. But for those who are willing to pay or are already subscribers to Perplexity Max, Comet could offer a very different way to use the web.
