Perplexity teases a web browser called Comet


AI-powered search engine Perplexity says it's building its own web browser. It'll be called Comet, and it's set to arrive 'soon.'

Perplexity may be betting that it can leverage its search engine user base to quickly ramp up and make some sort of a dent in the space with Comet. The AI-powered search engine is performing over 100 million queries each week as it expands monetization efforts like its advertising program. News Corp’s Dow Jones and the NY Post have sued Perplexity over what they describe as a “content kleptocracy.” Many other news sites have expressed concerns that Perplexity closely replicates their content — just in October, The New York Times sent the startup a cease and desist.
