Perplexity Comet Browser: AI Features and more

Earlier this year, Perplexity introduced Comet in a beta form, initially available only to Mac users with Apple Silicon chips. The browser integrates AI tools that let users ask questions, find discounts in shopping carts, and manage emails more efficiently. One notable feature is that it allows users to upload a photo and see how selected clothing items would look on them, which shows the browser’s interactive AI capabilities.

Although Perplexity has not set an official launch date, the CEO hinted at a wider release soon and continues to accept sign-ups via a waitlist. The browser has attracted attention not only for its AI features but also for privacy concerns. Srinivas previously made a statement suggesting Comet would collect data beyond the app to better understand users, which sparked debate. He later clarified that users will have the option to opt out of personalisation related to targeted advertising.

When Comet officially launches, it will enter a competitive market alongside browsers like Opera Neon and AI-driven products from Google and OpenAI.

AI Video Generation Comes to X

In a related update, Perplexity enhanced its chatbot on X with a new AI video generation feature. Users can now tag @AskPerplexity with a prompt to receive short, eight-second videos with sound created by AI, including visuals and dialogue. While this update could increase user interaction, it also raises concerns about misinformation on X, a platform already under scrutiny for content moderation issues. Perplexity stated that it has implemented robust filters to reduce misuse of the video creation tool.
