Perplexity AI on Thursday announced that its artificial intelligence-powered web browser Comet is available worldwide, and will be free to users.
The Comet browser is designed to serve as a personal assistant that can search the web, organize tabs, draft emails, shop and more, according to Perplexity. The startup initially launched Comet in July to Perplexity Max subscribers for $200 a month, and the waitlist has ballooned to “millions” of people, the company said.

Perplexity’s decision to provide Comet for free could help it attract more users as it works to fend off rivals like Google
, OpenAI and Anthropic that have their own AI browser offerings.
