Perplexity Unveils Comet: The AI-Powered Browser - Perplexity launched Comet, an AI-powered web browser designed to challenge Google Search. Initially available to select subscribers, its standout feature is an AI search engine alongside Comet Assistant, which manages tasks like summarizing emails and navigating webpages. Despite its innovative tools, Comet faces tough competition from established browsers and concerns over significant data access permissions.
While useful for simple tasks, the assistant struggles with complex requests, a common challenge in AI navigation. However, Comet's features could give Perplexity an edge in the competitive browser market.
