Comet Enters Enterprise: Perplexity Expands from Answer Engine to Actionable Browser

FACT STATEMENT

Perplexity launched Comet browser for Enterprise Pro users in August 2025.

What happened

Perplexity no longer just provides search answers with citations; it now integrates research, email, calendar, and web actions into a browser agent, starting to compete for users' complete information workflow.

Technical significance

Comet is based on Chromium, combining page context and assistant execution capabilities, and offers local history storage, management permissions, and enterprise deployment controls.

Industry impact

The boundaries between search products, browsers, and agents continue to blur, with distribution entry points and web execution permissions becoming new platform competitive points.

Decision value

Enterprise trials should restrict sensitive sites and high-risk actions, separately verifying research quality, execution success rates, and permission governance.

What to watch

Monitor prompt injection defenses, cross-site operation success rates, enterprise retention, and migration costs from existing entry points like Chrome and Edge.
