Perplexity Launches Comet AI in India: A Privacy-Focused Browser with Full Workflow Automation

Perplexity has officially unveiled its Comet AI browser in India, redefining the way users interact with the web. Positioned as a “thinking partner” instead of a traditional browser, Comet AI is designed to handle full digital workflows such as price comparisons, meeting scheduling, email drafting, online transactions, and project management.

Built on Chromium, Comet AI integrates an always-on AI sidebar capable of summarizing documents, managing multiple tabs, and streamlining productivity. It is currently available for Windows and macOS, with Android pre-orders open and iOS support expected soon.

To drive adoption, Perplexity has partnered with Airtel, offering millions of Airtel subscribers one year of free access to Perplexity Pro. The company is also investing in India’s tech ecosystem by hiring locally.

Privacy and security are at the core of Comet AI. The browser features end-to-end encryption, local storage of browsing history and AI interactions, seamless integration with password managers, and enterprise-grade compliance standards.

Experts highlight that with India’s rapidly expanding digital economy and AI adoption, Comet AI could become a game-changer in AI-powered browsing. By combining productivity, automation, and robust privacy, Perplexity aims to make Comet AI the go-to browser for both professionals and everyday users.
