Perplexity's Comet Browser on Android

Perplexity has launched its AI-powered Comet browser on Android, marking its debut on mobile platforms. The Android app offers features like smart summarisation, an integrated ad blocker, and voice mode. Comet's mobile design focuses on an efficient interface and incorporates an AI Assistant for enhanced navigation and information processing.

The Comet browser provides expanded reasoning to monitor the AI's problem-solving and contextual summarisation to synthesise information from open tabs. Perplexity aims to challenge established browsers by offering an AI-native experience, with the Android release potentially broadening its user base. The company highlights that the mobile version has been redesigned to suit mobile use, rather than just porting the desktop version.

Comet is available for free on Android and includes an AI assistant that can answer questions and take actions for the user. The integrated ad blocker is designed to improve the browsing experience on mobile.
