What is Perplexity’s Comet?

Perplexity describes Comet as a “browser for agentic search” which can handle complex tasks with minimal user intervention. Comet operates on Perplexity’s search engine, generating AI-assisted results compiled from across the web.

 

For the uninitiated, the term agentic search refers to an intelligent system capable of autonomously performing multi-step actions and gathering information by interpreting user intent and context.
