The internet is better on Comet. Millions of people use Comet every day on desktop and Android for a cleaner, better web experience. The Comet Assistant is now one of the most-used AI agents with web access available, and Perplexity has made Comet the standard-bearer for AI-native browsing.
Today we are launching Comet for iOS. iPhone users can tap into the same quick answers and in-browser assistance when they’re on their iOS devices.
Now the fastest-growing AI browser and most powerful web-based AI assistant, is uniquely tailored for the iOS experience and comes with features purpose-built to be the best browsing experience possible.
Talk to the web
Voice mode is built into Comet for iOS. Speak your questions and get a researched answer without breaking your flow. It works across the tabs you have open, so you can ask about what you’re reading at the moment.
Hybrid search results
The search experience in Comet iOS provides traditional search results pages for fast, local, and high-intent queries that are more common on mobile. Meanwhile, the Comet Assistant easily allows for more advanced knowledge and intelligence powered by the Perplexity answer engine. The intention is for users to have the smoothest browsing experience possible for the real use cases of iOS
Search for a tournament like “March Madness” to get scores and brackets, then ask which team is favored in a particular game and why. Or look up a local golf course business, then ask the Comet Assistant to book a tee time.
Research and summarize
Comet for iOS puts Perplexity’s full Deep Research engine in a user’s pocket. Get the latest on GLP-1 treatments for weight loss or generate expert-backed prep for a job interview, complete with cited sources.
Comet makes it easy to get the information that actually matters. Open an article on tax rule changes, ask for the key takeaways, then have the Assistant share the summary in an email.
A browser that acts for you
Comet is a powerful personal AI assistant. Ask the Comet Assistant to open a calendar event, research the meeting invitees on LinkedIn and the web, then provide a quick brief and three custom questions to ask them.
Or, have the Assistant research summer camps, summarize the trade-offs, and fill out the sign-up forms.
