Comet is AI-first and can take actions on behalf of users
While Chrome and other mobile browsers like Edge have AI tacked on as an extension, Comet is AI-first which means that it has features that you wouldn’t normally find on an Android browser. It also means that writing to, or talking to, the AI prompt is the main way users interact with Comet. The most exciting feature is the ability to use the Comet Assistant as an Agentic AI Assistant that takes actions on your behalf.
For example, you can ask Comet to find the best deals for airline tickets to Paris for next month. Or ask the browser to reveal which guitar, among the three you’re looking at, is the best value. You can also ask Comet to summarize a 10-page PDF report for work and email the results to your manager.

The Comet browser uses the Perplexity AI search engine as the default search tool
The Comet Browser uses the Perplexity AI search engine as the default search tool. Instead of delivering a list of blue links in a line like Google Search does, the Perplexity AI search engine delivers source-cited complex answers to questions. The voice-controlled mode will allow users to enjoy hands-free interaction with the browser, hands-free search, and hands-free navigation. With apps like Gmail and Google Calendar, Comet can help you schedule events and clean up your Gmail inbox.
When the Comet Browser first launched for the desktop this past July, it required an expensive Perplexity plan or a long wait on a waitlist in order to test out the browser. Luckily, Perplexity dropped this requirement last month and made the browser free to Android users.
