Hyderabad: Perplexity has released the Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered browser, Comet, for Apple iPad users, which is now available for download from the App Store. The browser has been built to work natively with iPadOS, adding support for multiple windows and split view, allowing users to run Comet alongside other apps simultaneously.
