The rapidly evolving AI ecosystem just welcomed another major milestone: the official launch of the Perplexity Comet AI browser for Android. Developed by Perplexity, the AI-first search and browsing company, the Comet browser brings intelligent online navigation, voice-enabled assistance, and agentic features directly to mobile users. After months of pre-registration availability on the Play Store, the browser has now rolled out to all users. This marks a significant step in making AI-native browsing accessible to millions of Android users worldwide.
What Is the Perplexity Comet AI Browser?
Comet is Perplexity’s in-house browser designed to integrate AI throughout the browsing experience. Unlike traditional browsers, Comet enhances how users search, read, explore web pages, and automate tasks using an integrated AI assistant. Its desktop version launched earlier this year, followed by the Android rollout that users have eagerly awaited.
Comet AI Browser Now Officially on Android
According to Perplexity’s announcement on X, the Android version of the Comet browser is now officially live on the Play Store. Users who pre-registered earlier automatically received the app, while new users can download it anytime. The mobile version retains most desktop features but introduces layout changes designed for smaller screens.

Unlike iOS, where the app is not yet available, Android users currently enjoy exclusive access — making Perplexity the first full-fledged AI browser available on mobile. Competing products like OpenAI ChatGPT Atlas and The Browser Company’s Arc/Dia are still unavailable on smartphones, giving Comet a significant head start.
Top Features of the Comet AI Browser on Android
1. Built-In AI Assistant
The AI assistant lives at the bottom of the screen in the Android app. With one tap, users can access AI summaries, ask questions about webpages, or interact using natural language or voice commands. The assistant appears as a full-screen pop-up, making the interface more immersive during interactions.
2. Voice Chat Support
Comet includes full voice-enabled AI chat, allowing users to speak directly to the browser. This feature is especially useful for hands-free browsing or on-the-go queries.

3. Agentic AI for Complex Tasks
The AI assistant can perform advanced tasks, such as comparing prices across websites, finding the best deals, or extracting structured information from multiple pages. For example, asking it to “find the website offering the cheapest Samsung Galaxy S25” will activate an AI agent that browses in the background and provides results along with screenshots of pages visited.
4. User-Friendly Layout
The Android version places the URL bar and toolbar at the bottom for easier thumb access — a thoughtful improvement for one-handed mobile use. While the assistant takes over the full screen when opened, session history remains preserved even after closing the window.
5. Free Access With Optional Upgrades
Comet is free to download and offers most features to all users. However, free-tier users experience rate limits with AI queries. Pro and Max subscribers get more generous limits and faster AI responses.
Why This Launch Matters
This launch positions Perplexity at the forefront of AI-native browsing. With increasing competition between Amazon, OpenAI, and Perplexity, the arrival of a fully functional mobile AI browser marks a major competitive advantage. As AI continues reshaping how people search and engage with information, a browser built around intelligence rather than just display is a natural step in the evolution of internet tools.
Conclusion
The launch of the Comet AI browser for Android marks a new era in mobile browsing, combining the power of AI with the simplicity of a mobile interface. Whether for everyday search, complex tasks, or automated browsing, Comet offers an all-in-one platform that enhances productivity and user experience. As competition in the AI browser space intensifies, Perplexity has clearly taken an early and impactful lead on mobile.
