How It Changes Mobile Browsing
Comet functions as an “agentic browser” that performs multi-step tasks autonomously. Instead of just fetching content like traditional search engines, it interprets your intent, gathers information from multiple sources, and executes chained actions. For example, you can ask it to “buy me a high-quality, comfortable office chair” and watch it research, compare options, and present recommendations.
The voice mode makes mobile browsing hands-free—chat with your assistant to find information across all open tabs. The cross-tab summarization feature is particularly powerful, synthesizing content from multiple pages simultaneously rather than just the active window.
Perplexity acknowledges security concerns around AI agents and has committed to rethinking browser security from the ground up. Currently, bookmark and history syncing between mobile and desktop isn’t available but will roll out within weeks.
