Overview
- Perplexity started sending Android early invites on November 10, with additional waves promised and Play Store pre‑registration available.
- The first access is going to frequent Perplexity users and paying Pro/Max members, with select users in India among those receiving invites.
- Comet on mobile mirrors the desktop agentic model, letting users summarize pages, ask questions about on‑screen content, and execute multi‑step tasks such as comparisons, bookings, and basic email actions.
- Perplexity recently overhauled Comet Assistant, reporting about a 23% performance improvement and new abilities to work across multiple tabs for tasks like job searches and travel planning.
- An iOS build is planned without a timeline, the CEO has touted Comet’s potential to “deprecate Android,” and observers are watching competition from OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas and AI additions to Chrome and Edge.
