RECATOOLS Verdict

Comet is Perplexity's agentic web browser: a Chromium-based browser with Perplexity's answer engine and an assistant that can read the current page, run searches, fill forms and carry out multi-step tasks across tabs. The integration of conversational search directly into browsing is genuinely useful and a clear glimpse of where browsers are heading.

It is still early — rollout was initially gated behind Perplexity's premium tiers/waitlist, agentic actions can be hit-or-miss, and handing a browser agent your logged-in sessions raises real privacy and security questions. Best for Perplexity power users and early adopters; mainstream users and ASEAN teams should wait for broader availability and maturity. No API.
