San Francisco-based Perplexity on Wednesday made its new artificial intelligence-powered Comet web browser available to its highest-paying Perplexity Max subscribers and some others.

Perplexity AI's Comet browser revolutionizes internet browsing with AI-driven conversational interfaces, potentially reshaping how users access information online.

If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.

Perplexity AI launched its Comet web browser after Google Chrome rejected the startup's offer to become a default search engine option.

Perplexity's Comet wants to kill the click. OpenAI is poised to follow. Google Chrome might be next on the chopping block.
