A browser for agentic search by Perplexity.
Comet Browser is an upcoming Browser built by the team behind Perplexity (one of the most promising search-focused AI teams right now).
What they realized is that web browsers are at the core of search, so what if they built a browser that has their AI search at the core? Might sound familiar to The Browser Company's thesis with their new upcoming Dia Browser, but Perplexity is quite a bit larger and has had more success in the search space, taking nearly 2% of global search traffic.
Perplexity has something up their sleeve with Comet though, and it's all around their Assistant.
Comet's built-in assistant is what sets it apart from all the best browsers we've covered. It handles the new table-stakes well, with Perplexity at the core, so all the usual search and research functionality is handled.
It can also interact with open tabs, allowing you to essentially target your search and research to a more specific dataset to what you're looking into. But Dia can do this as well, so it's not particularly standout in a browser.
But what does set it apart is Comet gives us the first actual glance at what this coveted "Agentic Browsing" experience actually is, in a non-technical, actually user-friendly way.
What does this mean? Well it can connect into your calendar and email to tell you about important emails (cool, like Google Assistant, right?), but most impressively it can even navigate the web for you.
I'm saying that you can ask it to do things, and it will actually navigate around the page your on, open new pages when needed, and take action as if it's a human you're asking to do something for you.
With all of that said, moving into the browser space is incredibly difficult, but there is something incredibly interesting about this new wave of AI browsers, and we're totally here for the browser space to finally evolve.

Toby is a browser extension that tries to solve the tab management overload problem with a beautiful new tab page. It's similar to Workona in that way (in-fact, Toby vs Workona is probably it's most direct competitor).
That said, we don't believe that the open tabs overload can be solved simply with a new tab page, at least without quite deep browser integration (where Workona does get closer on).
