Perplexity AI has announced its entry into the web browser market with Comet, an AI-driven browser designed for "agentic search." The company teased the new browser on X, launching a signup list but providing few details on its features or how it will differentiate itself from established competitors like Google Chrome and Safari. Perplexity hopes to leverage its AI-powered search engine to offer a more relevant search experience, potentially allowing users to find answers without needing to navigate traditional search results pages.

Perplexity's move into the crowded browser market signals its ambition to control more of the search experience and expand its product portfolio. Founded in 2022, the company has raised over $500 million and is valued at $9 billion. It fields more than 100 million queries each week and has been ramping up monetization through advertising and e-commerce. While the browser space is dominated by industry giants, Perplexity may be betting that its search engine user base and innovative AI integration can help Comet gain traction.
