Revolutionizing Web Browsing with Conversational AI
Perplexity has launched its groundbreaking Comet AI browser, offering an advanced browsing experience powered by state-of-the-art AI. Built on Chromium, Comet transforms the way users interact with the internet by allowing conversational search, real-time summarization, and automated workflows directly within the browser interface[1][2][4].Exclusive Early Access Available for PayPal and Venmo Users
Users of PayPal and Venmo are among the first to receive access to Comet’s features through a dedicated invite program, with priority for subscribers of the Perplexity Max plan. This plan includes early access as a bonus, while free-tier users will be able to join via a waitlist[1].Key Features of Comet AI Browser
- Agentic AI Browsing: Comet enables users to interact using natural language and execute complex tasks—such as booking, scheduling, or research—directly from the browser[3].
- Real-Time Summarization & Source Attribution: Comet automatically reads, summarizes, and cites content from web pages, offering reliable, verified answers with clickable citations for every insight[2][5].
- Conversational Memory: Users can ask follow-up questions without losing context, making research more intuitive and efficient[2].
