# Perplexity launches Comet AI browser across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows

> Perplexity is pushing its AI browser onto every screen. Comet, its Chromium-based browser with an assistant woven directly into the search experience, is now available on iOS, Android, Mac and Windows, and is being integrated into Samsung Internet, a move that puts it in front of a huge mobile audience. The pitch is that the browser itself does the work. Comet can summarize pages, draft and send emails, and even make purchases without the user hopping between tabs, and the latest update adds inline editing, finer task controls and live tracking of the credits each action consumes. This is part of a broader shift in how people expect to use the web. Instead of a passive window onto pages, the browser becomes an agent that acts on your behalf, and Perplexity is betting that owning that layer is more valuable than owning a search box. For a startup going head to head with Google and Apple's defaults, distribution across every platform is the whole game.
