Perplexity Set to Unveil AI ‘Comet’ Browser for iPhone Next Month

**Perplexity’s Comet: The AI-Enhanced Browser for iPhone Set to Debut**

Last summer, Perplexity stirred the tech community by introducing Comet, one of the pioneering AI-centric web browsers, exclusively for Mac users. Following this initial achievement, the company is now gearing up to unveil the long-anticipated iOS version of Comet, tailored specifically for iPhone users. The app is currently up for pre-order in the App Store and is expected to go live on March 11.

### Features of Comet for iPhone

The iPhone edition of Comet aims to offer a smooth browsing experience, akin to its Mac version. It will harness Perplexity’s cutting-edge AI capabilities to enhance search and chat features. As stated in the App Store description, Comet is built to function as a personal assistant and thinking ally, striving to improve productivity and optimize workflows.

Key features emphasized in the pre-order announcement include:

– **Integrated AI Search**: Users can look forward to a robust search experience that combines AI to deliver immediate context and pertinent information across different websites.
– **Automation**: The browser will allow users to summarize content, shop, set appointments, and perform research directly within the browser environment.
– **Tailored Experience**: Comet adjusts to individual user behaviors, learning how they think and operate to keep them organized and efficient. This customization ensures that users never misplace their tabs or sources of inspiration.

### Availability and Compatibility

Currently, Comet is accessible for Mac, Windows, and Android platforms. However, there is no indication of an iPad version being launched alongside the iPhone app in March. Users interested in the iPhone version can pre-order it now, guaranteeing that it will automatically download to their devices upon its launch.

### Conclusion

Perplexity’s Comet for iPhone signifies a notable advancement in the incorporation of AI technology within web browsing. By concentrating on user experience and productivity, it seeks to revolutionize how individuals engage with the web. As the launch date nears, many are excited to observe how Comet will fare in the competitive arena of mobile browsers.
