Perplexity plans to leverage its AI expertise to build the browser. While the exact technical specifications of the “Comet” browser have not yet been revealed, it is expected to feature integrated AI capabilities. These may include advanced search features, a personalized browsing experience, or enhanced security and privacy measures.
Perplexity continues to expand its product portfolio, and the launch of “Comet” is another step in that direction. The company has already made a mark with several successful products, such as AI assistants and search APIs. At the same time, Perplexity faces legal challenges from publishers accusing it of copyright infringement.
Further updates from the company and feedback from early users will help clarify how “Comet” plans to compete in this crowded segment and what specific features it will offer users.
