00:00Perplexity challenges Google Chrome with new AI browser.

00:04Perplexity has launched Comet, an AI-powered web browser now available to $200 per month

00:09Perplexity Mac subscribers.

00:12After beta testing with select Windows users, it's rolling out more widely, joining browsers

00:17like Chrome and Arc that integrate AI into browsing.

00:20Built on Chrome's technology, Comet stands out with deep Perplexity AI integration.

00:26It uses Perplexity as the default search engine and offers an AI sidebar that answers questions,

00:32summarizes pages, and handles tasks like emails, directions, and purchases, acting as a personal

00:37assistant.

00:39Like ChatGPT or Google's Gemini, Comet generates answers by pulling data from across the web,

00:45raising accuracy concerns.

00:47Perplexity also faces lawsuits over reproducing articles without credit and privacy concerns

00:52for using browser data in ad targeting.

00:55The company has even expressed interest in buying Chrome if antitrust action forces Google

00:59to sell.

01:00Comet's launch reflects the trend of browsers evolving into AI platforms powered by user

01:06data.

01:07It's available via waitlist or instantly with a Perplexity Mac subscription.
