Perplexity Comet Browser Debut: The AI Search Engine That Could Replace Google?

On 24 February 2025, AI firm Perplexity took to their official X account to announce the coming launch of their Comet browser. While the original post holds little to no detail on the product preparing for launch, there is a lot to expect.

What Will The Perplexity Comet Browser Offer Users?

Perplexity AI is a California-based artificial intelligence firm that officially launched as a firm back in August 2022. Following its launch, the firm got a ton of attention from netizens around the world as people were getting familiar with artificial intelligence and its various uses.

Just like other more popular tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity offers users real-time information from its AI-powered search engine. With the firm’s platform, users can ask any question and receive responses generated using an in-house AI system.

Now the firm is looking to unveil its AI-powered browser, which might take internet surfing to a whole new level. At this time there is no official information on what this browser will bring to users as Perplexity has only teased its launch.

However, we can gain insight into the coming browser by looking at a similar offering from OpenAI. The OpenAI Operator Agent which hit the launch stage on 23 January 2025 can help users better understand what the Perplexity Comet browser might offer users.

The Operator Agent aims to help simplify the browsing process for users, as it can perform various activities without the need for human interference. All users need to do is leave a prompt or command for the browser, and it does the work itself and presents its findings to the user.

Possibly Perplexity’s coming browser might build on this idea, adding a ton of AI features to an internet browser. This might help simplify browsing for users, however, we still need to wait on official information to better understand what is coming.

How To Access The Perplexity Comet Browser Once It Launches

If you are interested in trying out this browser once it is available for use, Perplexity is making things easy for you. To gain early access to this product once it launches, you can sign up for the waitlist.

Signing up is easy as it only requires your email address to enable you to join the waitlist. It is important to note that you’ll need to have a working Perplexity account before you will be able to join the waitlist.
However, just like with the OpenAI Operator Agent, this coming browser might only be accessible by users of the Perplexity Pro plan. If this is the case, then you’ll need to join the Perplexity Pro plan for $20 per month.
