Comet 2.0 turns your browser into an AI agent — it researches, compares prices and fills forms for you. What it does, how it's different, pricing, and is it safe.
Perplexity Comet 2.0: The AI Browser That Browses For You (India Guide)
Most of us still browse the old way: open tabs, search, click, copy, compare, repeat. Comet 2.0 flips this — you describe the goal in plain language, and the browser itself does the clicking, reading and comparing, then asks you to confirm before anything final happens.
Comet is Perplexity AI's own web browser (built on Chromium) with an AI assistant built into every tab. The 2.0 update (August 2026) adds a stronger agentic mode that can complete real multi-step tasks across websites, not just answer questions about the page you're on.
| Normal browser | Comet 2.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Research | You search, open tabs, compare manually | Ask once — it researches across tabs for you |
| Forms & bookings | You type every field yourself | It fills the form and waits for your confirm |
| Long pages / PDFs | You skim manually | Instant summary in a side panel |
e.g. "cheapest 55-inch TV under ₹40,000"

| Browser | Maker | Agentic tasks | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perplexity Comet 2.0 | Perplexity AI | Yes — full agent mode | Free tier + Pro (~₹1,700/mo) |
| ChatGPT Atlas | OpenAI | Yes — agent mode (limited rollout) | Included with ChatGPT Plus/Pro |
| Edge Copilot Mode | Microsoft | Assisted browsing, some automation | Free |
The free tier already covers page summaries, quick research and the assistant sidebar — genuinely useful on a ₹0 budget. The paid Comet Pro tier (bundled with Perplexity Pro, roughly the price of one food delivery order a month) unlocks the deeper agentic tasks like multi-site price comparisons and form-filling — worth it if you shop online often or do a lot of research for work or study.
Pros
Cons
Yes — Comet has a genuinely usable free tier (browsing assistant, page summaries). The deeper agentic tasks (multi-step research, form-filling) are part of Comet Pro, bundled with a Perplexity Pro subscription.
It's designed to ask for your confirmation before submitting anything, but you should still review every field yourself before approving — especially payment or personal-data forms.
Both are agentic AI browsers. Comet is built by Perplexity around its search engine and is bundled with Perplexity Pro; ChatGPT Atlas is OpenAI's browser bundled with a ChatGPT subscription. Choose whichever assistant's answers you already prefer.
Comet is a full standalone browser, so you'd install and use it directly — but you can keep Chrome or Edge installed alongside it and only open Comet for tasks where the AI features help.
