Perplexity AI just rolled out Comet, a browser that turns every search and tab into a natural chat. At launch, only Max subscribers get invites, but more spots will open up over the summer.

With Comet you don't jump between pages—you ask it to compare products, pull up research or even set up meetings. It remembers everything you've discussed so your tasks flow without interruptions.

If you care about privacy, Comet keeps your data on your own device. Nothing you do goes off to be used for AI training, so you can browse without worrying about where your history ends up.

Comet arrives as the next evolution in AI browsing. After ChatGPT added search and Google (GOOG, Financial) launched its own AI summaries, this feels like the start of a new era. If it smooths out the rough edges, we could be looking at a whole different way to explore the web.
