What makes it different from Chrome

Comet is built on the same Chromium engine as Chrome, so it feels familiar, but it adds an always-on AI sidebar that can handle multi-step tasks directly — comparing product prices across tabs, scheduling meetings, drafting emails, and even completing transactions, rather than just answering questions about a page.

How to get it free

Comet normally requires a Perplexity Pro subscription. In India, Perplexity partnered with Bharti Airtel to give eligible Airtel subscribers a complimentary one-year Perplexity Pro subscription — which includes Comet access — effectively making it free for a large share of Indian users without a separate payment.

Try it: a simple starter prompt

Once you have Comet installed, try asking its sidebar something like this while browsing:

Compare the prices of this product across the open tabs and tell me which is cheapest.

Where it's available

Comet is available for macOS and Windows today. Android users can pre-order it, and iOS support was described as coming soon — so availability may vary depending on your device.
