Perplexity Comet Browser Launched In India with AI-Powered Features: How to Download & Install

Perplexity's Comet browser has made its debut in India, offering a unique AI-powered browsing experience for macOS and Windows users. As of September 22, Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed its availability, though it's currently limited to Perplexity Pro subscribers. Free-tier users will have to wait for broader access.

The Comet browser, introduced globally in July 2025, integrates an AI answer engine directly into the browsing experience. A standout feature is its AI-powered sidebar assistant, which remains active across tabs and projects. This allows users to perform tasks like comparing delivery times across e-commerce sites with ease.

AI Assistant Features

Beyond basic search functions, the Comet assistant is capable of handling more complex tasks. It can book meetings, convert webpages into emails, and even complete online purchases using simple text commands. This positions it as more than just a search tool.

Currently, the Android version of the Comet browser is available for pre-registration on Google Play in India. Although the exact release date is not specified, this suggests mobile availability might be imminent. However, iOS users may face a longer wait as it is yet to be listed on the App Store.
