Imagine a web browser that doesn’t just show you websites—it helps you explore ideas, summarize content, answer your questions, and even navigate what to do next. That’s the promise of the new AI browser from Perplexity, called Comet. Out of ten AI browsers tried, Fast Company praised Comet as the one that changes how we browse. Let’s find out why it’s turning heads.
What Makes Comet Special?
1. AI That Works Like a Thinking Partner
Most browsers simply allow you to search or open new tabs. Comet does more. It acts like a smart assistant right inside your browser. You can ask it to:
- Summarize an article
- Describe an image you see
- Compare information from multiple tabs
- Help you stay focused while browsing

2. Built for Curiosity, Not Just Searching
Comet lets you highlight part of a page and ask questions—like “Why is this important?” or “Tell me more about this idea.” It supports curious digging without losing your place.

3. Automates Tasks, Not Just Finds Info
It can book flights, write emails, surface key info from your inbox or calendar—all from your browser window! Think of telling your browser to “plan a trip” and watching it go.

4. Privacy and Security at the Core
Comet keeps your browsing history and data on your device. It only uses your info if you let it—and the browser is built to meet strong privacy rules.

5. A Taste of the Future of Browsing
Users who tested Comet feel like AI browsers are the next big step for the internet. Instead of jumping between tabs and copying links, Comet lets you just ask and let the assistant work.
