Perplexity is planning to open up its Comet browser that's powered by
"agentic search" to Windows users, according to the company's CEO. Aravind
Srinivas posted on X that the Windows build of Comet is ready and has sent
out invites to early testers already. Perplexity's CEO also hinted at a
potential release for Android devices, adding that it was "moving at a crazy
pace and moving ahead of schedule."

In May, Perplexity launched a beta version of its AI-powered Comet browser,
only available to Mac users running Apple Silicon. The intelligent browser
comes with AI features baked in, like the ability to ask it questions, check
shopping carts for discounts and dig up unanswered emails. The beta version
even showcases a "Try on" feature where users can upload a photo of
themselves and Comet will generate an image of them wearing a selected piece
of clothing.

There's still no official debut set, but Srinivas previously hinted at an
upcoming release in an X post earlier this month. Comet is still only
offering a waitlist for those interested, but the browser has already stirred
up controversy. The company's CEO previously made comments during a podcast
interview that Perplexity would use Comet "to get data even outside the app
to better understand you." Srinivas later clarified on X that the comment was
taken out of context, adding that "every user will be given the option to not
be part of the personalization" when it comes to targeted ads. When Comet is
released, the agentic browser will face competition from Opera Neon and
similar offerings from Google and OpenAI.
