AI-enhanced search answers are just the beginning for the tech industry's plans to revolutionize the way people access information online through even more agentic AI.

Announced today, AI-powered search company Perplexity unveiled its new entirely AI-powered search engine, an alternative to traditional styles of web searching. According to Perplexity, the Comet browser reduces the "clutter" of tabs and links in favor of AI-generated responses and a "single, streamlined" interaction with the Comet assistant, which can do both browsing and organizational tasks on your behalf.

Rather than mastering boolean operators, users can just ask Comet.

"Comet powers a shift from browsing to thinking," the company wrote in a press release. "With Comet, you don't search for information—you think out loud, and Comet executes complete workflows while keeping perfect context. Research becomes conversation. Analysis becomes natural. Annoying tasks evaporate. The internet becomes an extension of your mind."

Perplexity's chatbot-based search engine is built on the open-source project Chromium, which also powers Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Perplexity's chatbot integrates both OpenAI's GPT models and Anthropic's Claude. According to the company, users will still be able to access their preferred extensions, settings, and bookmarks, just as with other browsers.

Other major AI players are trying to stack up against the king of search (Google) as well. Industry giant OpenAI is rumored to be launching its own web browser in the coming weeks, according to Reuters, leveling up its current ChatGPT Search extension with the power of a central hub and other AI product integrations.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Perplexity has previously integrated shopping and voice chat features into its product, and looked to expand elsewhere. Apple, reportedly, is considering purchasing the company, potentially to integrate the tech into Apple device's native search tools like Spotlight (which users notoriously deride). Samsung is expected to ship future Galaxy S26 series preloaded with the Perplexity app.

Perplexity Max subscribers (the company's $200 per month premium offering) will get access to the Mac and Windows-based Comet first, with a larger rollout expected on an invite-only basis. The company says it will launch a free version of the browser sometime in the future, according the site FAQ. Interested users can also join the waitlist, starting today.
