Perplexity's AI-Powered Browser Comet Expands to Windows; Android on the Horizon?
If you're tired of the same old browsing experience, Perplexity might just have something interesting for you. Their CEO recently announced that Comet, their AI-powered browser, is now ready for Windows users. Invitations have already been sent to early testers, which is exciting news!.
Remember when Perplexity launched Comet in May? It was initially a beta exclusively for Mac users with Apple Silicon. The browser's standout feature is its integrated AI capabilities.
It can answer your questions, find discounts while you're shopping online, and even locate those buried emails you've been meaning to respond to. If that weren't enough, the beta version included a "Try on" feature, allowing users to virtually try on clothes using AI-generated images.
While there's no official launch date set in stone just yet, the CEO's recent hints suggest it could be coming sooner rather than later. It seems they are moving faster than previously expected!.
Of course, with any new technology, there are always questions. Perplexity's CEO previously mentioned that Comet would be used to gather data to better understand users, which raised some eyebrows. However, he later clarified that users will have the option to opt out of personalization for targeted ads, which is reassuring.
Once released, Comet will be entering a competitive market, with rivals like Opera Neon and similar projects from Google and OpenAI already in the mix. It will be interesting to see how Comet carves out its own space in the browser landscape. Moreover, there is a buzz that Android users might be next in line to receive this technological marvel.
