When Perplexity first announced their Comet browser on July 9 it was only for Perplexity Max subscribers willing to join a wait list and be invited.

Then on August 25 they announced Comet Plus as a standalone $5 subscription (free for Pro and Max subscribers).

Today they're releasing Comet as a free browser for anyone in the world to use. You can download it here: perplexity.ai/comet

Here's their pitch:

• The internet is broken. People want a better internet.
• Chat bots are outdated, but people love the Comet Assistant.
• There will be a Comet mobile app soon "with a personal AI designed for your phone."
