Perplexity is expanding the reach of its AI-powered Comet browser, now offering early access to select Windows users. CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed on X that Windows builds have been sent out to testers, and development is accelerating faster than expected.
Initially launched in May for macOS users with Apple Silicon, Comet integrates “agentic search” capabilities and a suite of built-in AI features. These include intelligent question answering, smart email discovery, shopping cart discount tracking, and even a “Try on” feature that lets users see themselves in clothes using uploaded photos.
While the browser remains in beta and is invite-only, Srinivas also hinted at an Android version coming soon, suggesting a rapid expansion of Perplexity’s ecosystem.
Comet has drawn attention not only for its capabilities but also for privacy concerns. A past podcast remark by Srinivas about gathering data beyond the app raised eyebrows, though he later clarified users would have the choice to opt out of personalization and targeted advertising.
As Comet gains traction, it enters a competitive space alongside browsers like Opera Neon, Google’s experimental platforms, and OpenAI’s projects. With its emphasis on AI-first browsing, Perplexity is betting big on redefining how users interact with the web.
