I chair SFF 33 Alpha — a Special Forces Foundation civilian advisory group — and run b/digital partners, a PE-backed consulting firm. My days move fast — deal intelligence, competitive analysis, portfolio ops, client research — all happening simultaneously. I don’t have time for tools that slow me down. Comet doesn’t.This isn’t a browser with AI stapled on as an afterthought. The Comet Assistant is an operator. I’ll have six tabs open across a due diligence deep-dive and the assistant synthesizes all of it — pulls key data points, compares sources, surfaces what matters — while I’m already on to the next thread. Deep Research alone has replaced an entire layer of my workflow at b/digital partners. What used to require an analyst and an hour now takes minutes, in-browser, with citations.Cross-device sync is flawless. I start a research thread on my Mac during a strategy session, walk out the door, and pick it up on my iPhone without losing a single thread of context. For someone who operates between Dallas, Colorado, and client sites constantly, that continuity is mission-critical.The UI is fast, clean, and aggressive — exactly how a tool should feel. No bloat. No friction. Just speed and intelligence. The gestures are native-feeling on iOS, tab management is tight, and the design has a confidence to it that matches the capability underneath.Safari was fine. Chrome was functional. Comet is a force multiplier. If you operate at a pace where seconds matter and information is leverage, stop thinking about it and download this now. Perplexity built something elite here and I don’t say that lightly.

Comet has very quickly become the browser I actually want to live in every day. I use it both at work (healthcare/IT and operations) and at home, and it has already replaced a bunch of tools I used to juggle.Instead of bouncing between a traditional browser, an AI chatbot, and my notes, I can stay in one place and let Comet do the tab wrangling and research for me. It is fantastic for deep dives where I have lots of sources open: I can have the assistant summarize pages, compare vendors, pull out key details from documentation, or draft messages and policies based on what I am looking at, all inside the browser.On iOS, it is exactly what I wanted: the same intelligence I have on my Mac, now in my pocket. Being able to quickly ask questions about a page I am viewing, summarize long articles when I am on the go, or talk through ideas with the assistant has made my iPhone feel like a much more powerful work device. It is also great for personal stuff like trip planning, product research, and all the random curiosity rabbit holes I fall into.I love that Comet feels like a thoughtful, modern browser first, with AI woven in where it genuinely saves time instead of getting in the way. The design is clean, the assistant is fast, and it is clear the team is building toward a serious agentic future of browsing.There are still a few early rough edges (like sync on iOS occasionally acting up), but none of them outweigh how much time I am saving and how much smoother my workflows feel. For anyone who lives in their browser and does a lot of research, writing, or decision making, Comet is absolutely worth trying.

I was pleasantly surprised by the UX of the app, mainly around the gestures for sliding to add tabs, share sheet, more details button and much more. It feels like Safari with the great Perplexity assistant AI capabilities mixed together. It feels native and not thrown together, which was what I was most concerned about. I do wish that sliding up from the url bar would open all the tabs like Safari does, so that’s some feedback to the team. I also noticed the starry black background when you’re looking at all tabs gives me some motion sickness and clashes with my phone in light mode. Maybe consider settings to disable motion and have light mode background options? I LOVE the look of it, just the dark in light mode and motion make it a little hard to focus. Overall I’d say this was an amazing first version that really feels natural to use. I still need plenty of time to learn all the little features and quirks, but I am pleasantly surprised and happy with the app thus far.

I've been using Perplexity for years now, and I can constantly say it is my favorite compared to ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, and more. I work in digital marketing and have used them all and come back to perplexity again and again.Now, with the introduction of Comet, which I've been patiently waiting for, I have never been more pleased with my personal tech stack. Perplexity AI is fully integrated and extremely useful in browsing situations. The onboarding process was so seamless. It pulled most of my browsing data, bookmarks, and tabs directly from Google Chrome, which I previously used and made it so easy to make the switch. I have it on my Mac Mini M4 and my iPhone 15 Pro and absolutely love it. It also has "Computer" which is super exciting as well! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
