Perplexity's AI-powered Comet Browser is ready for Android users

From the Google Play Store, Android users can now install Perplexity’s AI-powered Comet Browser. The Comet Browser can work with your voice as you ask the Comet Assistant questions about content you’ve been reading on the browser. For example, if you need to summarize a long magazine article you’ve been reading, just ask Comet to do it and it shall be done. And Comet even has the capabilities of viewing multiple tabs at one time.

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.
