How to get started
Download Comet
Visit comet.perplexity.ai and download Comet for your platform. Available for macOS, Windows, and iOS.
Import your bookmarks and settings
On first launch, Comet offers to import bookmarks, saved passwords, and settings from your current browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Arc, etc.) so you can switch without losing anything.
Start searching from the address bar
Type a question into the address bar instead of a URL. Comet will return a full Perplexity answer with citations inline, so you never need to open a separate search page.
Connect your Perplexity Pro account
Sign in with your Perplexity account to unlock Pro Search, Deep Research, image generation, and access to all AI models directly in the browser. If you do not have Pro, the free tier still gives you basic AI search and page summarization.
