## Key features

- **Comet Assistant:** A built-in assistant takes on assigned tasks such as shopping, scheduling and research. Its actions are shown as it works, and the user can step in at any time.
- **AI search with page context:** AI search is built into the browser and uses the context of the page being viewed, so questions can be asked and answered without leaving the site.
- **Summaries across tabs:** Smart summarization condenses content from all open tabs at once, not only the page currently on screen.
- **Voice mode:** On mobile, voice mode lets a person talk to the assistant to find information across the tabs they have open.
- **Built-in ad blocker:** An ad blocker removes spam and pop-up ads on mobile as on desktop, with a whitelist for sites the user trusts.

## Good for

- People who want an assistant to carry out multi-step web tasks
- Summarizing research spread across many open tabs
- Perplexity subscribers who want its AI search inside the browser

## Worth knowing

- The App Store lists Perplexity Pro at $20.00 and $200.00 and Perplexity Max at $200.00 as in-app purchases, without stating a billing period.
- Google Play lists in-app purchases from $4.99 to $249.99 per item, and neither store says which features or limits depend on a paid plan.
- Perplexity's website could not be read when checked, so Mac and Windows availability comes from press coverage rather than a vendor page.
