Perplexity Brings Comet Browser To iPhone

Perplexity launches Comet for iOS today on the App Store, bringing its agentic web browser to iPhone while omitting an iPad version. The WebKit-based app syncs bookmarks, history, and account data across desktop, Android, and Windows instances, integrates an assistant powered by OpenAI's realtime voice API, and uses a cloud virtual browser for agent 'browse for me' tasks. It lacks extensions and customizable new-tab bookmarks.
Key Points
- 1Launches iOS Comet browser with built-in agent and OpenAI realtime voice API integration
- 2Imposes WebKit and iOS sandbox limits, blocking third-party extensions and in-app browser replacement
- 3Enables cross-device sync and agent workflows, using cloud virtual browser to perform web tasks
Scoring Rationale
Notable product release with official launch and agent features, limited novelty beyond existing Comet desktop and Android versions.
