Perplexity Comet hasn’t yet been globally released for users. The AI browser is currently available to users who have a Perplexity Max subscription. At a point when tech enthusiasts are all agreeing that this AI browser will bring a new dawn for web browsing, the CEO of Perplexity AI stated that Comet not only changes the browsing experience, but also poses a threat to some job roles.
In the podcast with The Verge, he stated that Comet’s built-in AI agent can execute a bunch of recruiting work with one natural language prompt. It can identify potential candidates, draft outreach messages, follow up, update status in Google Sheets, and schedule interviews automatically.
That’s not it. Comet is designed to perform as a virtual executive assistant, triaging email, coordinating calendars, resolving scheduling conflicts, and generating briefs for meetings without manual intervention.
Srinivas envisions, “That’s the extent to which we have an ambition to make the browser into something that feels more like an OS where these are processes that are running all the time.”
