The News
Perplexity has launched Comet, a new AI-powered browser that promises to rethink how users search, read, and act online.
The headline features:
- Built-in summarization for every page
- App integrations that shortcut repetitive workflows
- A UI designed for “intent-first” browsing — not distraction
Unlike past AI features bolted onto Chrome, Comet is built from the ground up as a browser that thinks with you — not just for you.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just another feature drop.
It signals a shift in how AI will shape the interface layer of the internet — not just what sits behind the scenes.
- Reading becomes reasoning.
Comet doesn’t just surface links. It trims the fat and tells you what matters. - Search becomes strategy.
With app integrations and instant summaries, the tool promises to compress time between question and action. - Browsing becomes a workflow.
Expect fewer tabs, faster takeaways, and less mental overhead for operators navigating dense sources.
Comet isn’t just for consumers. It’s a glimpse at how AI-first interfaces could reshape how work gets done — and what gets missed.
Want to Go Deeper?
In Think In Tokens, I’ll break down where tools like Comet fit in the emerging AI stack:
- When to use them — and when not to
- What “intent-first interfaces” mean for ops, product, and GTM
- How smart leaders separate novelty from actual leverage
This isn’t about chasing the next tool.
It’s about understanding the shift beneath them.
No noise. Just the signal — and what to do with it.
