Perplexity, the AI-browsing giant, launched its Comet browser just a few months ago. Since then, I’ve spent some time messing around with it and can’t help but feel that it could well be the future of browsing.
The one glaring problem is (or rather, was) the waitlist. When Perplexity first launched this new browser, there was a waitlist to join in the hundreds of thousands. Whilst Perplexity was steadily getting through that list, the company has suddenly announced that Comet will be completely free for anybody to download.
“Comet is now available to everyone in the world. In the last 84 days, millions have joined the Comet waitlist looking for a powerful personal AI assistant and new ways to use the internet. The internet is better on Comet”, the company announced in a post on X.
