Perplexity is expanding access to its AI-driven Comet browser by offering it for free to users around the globe. This move goes beyond the $200-per-month Max plan subscribers who initially tested the platform. The browser first launched three months ago, quickly drawing millions to the waitlist thanks to its unique approach to AI-assisted browsing.

An important element in the Comet browser is a sidecar assistant that helps users interact with web content. It can answer questions, summarize pages, organize information, and guide navigation. All users, even on the free tier, also have access to additional tools: Discover for personalized news, Spaces for project management, and Shopping for comparing prices. They can additionally use Travel for planning trips, Finance for tracking budgets and investments, and Sports for real-time updates.

Max subscribers receive advanced AI capabilities, including an email assistant for drafting responses, prioritizing the inbox, scheduling meetings, and managing tasks. They also gain early access to a background assistant capable of performing multiple tasks simultaneously, such as sending emails, booking flights, or adding items to a cart. The progress of these tasks is tracked on a central “mission control” dashboard. The assistant can furthermore interface with other apps on the computer to streamline workflows.

By combining AI-powered browsing with productivity tools, Perplexity aims to demonstrate tangible gains for users. The move positions Comet as a serious alternative to established browsers like Chrome and emerging AI-driven competitors. It offers automated support that extends beyond traditional search.
