Perplexity, the innovative AI-powered search engine, has announced plans to develop its own web browser, named “Comet.” While the release date and specific features of Comet remain undisclosed, Perplexity promises a disruptive approach to the web browsing experience.
The new browser will complement Perplexity’s rapidly expanding product portfolio, which already includes an AI-powered assistant for Android, an API for AI search, and a “deep research” tool. Perplexity’s aim is to leverage its large user base and advanced AI capabilities to make a significant impact in the competitive browser market.
Comet joins a crowded landscape of web browsers, but Perplexity believes its AI-driven capabilities will set it apart. The company aims to enhance the browsing experience with AI-powered features that could rival those offered by alternative browsers such as Dia.
Despite its ambitious plans, Perplexity faces legal challenges. Several publishers, including News Corp’s Dow Jones and the NY Post, have accused Perplexity of content theft and sued the company. Perplexity maintains that it respects publisher content and offers a revenue-sharing program.
As Perplexity continues to expand its offerings and navigate legal obstacles, the launch of Comet remains highly anticipated. The browser’s debut is expected to further establish Perplexity’s position as a major player in the search and browsing space. Stay tuned for updates on the release date and features of Comet.
