Perplexity Comet
Perplexity's agentic AI browser, now on all major platforms, with local-desktop context via Personal Computer for Mac.
Overview
Perplexity's Comet browser reached full platform parity in 2026 and gained several agentic-computer features in this window: Personal Computer for Mac (connects local files, apps, and Comet context to Perplexity Computer) and full iOS availability in August 2026, and, controversially, moved the 'Control browser' capability behind separate Computer credits around September 15, 2026 after it had shipped free with Pro.
