Perplexity has officially made its Comet browser free for all users. Now, users can download the browser and use the Comet Assistant. The AI can do several tasks based on prompts, be it managing tabs, shopping online, or drafting emails.

On X, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas announced that now all users will get access to Comet, including those on the free plan. He also revealed that the company will soon launch a mobile version of the AI browser.

Perplexity claims that the waitlist for Comet had crossed millions since July, and users were waiting to try the new AI browser. According to the company, users who tried Comet, asked 6 to 18 times more questions to Perplexity.

This announcement comes at a time when Google has integrated Gemini into Chrome. Earlier this year, Perplexity had made a $34.5 billion bid to acquire Chrome.
