Perplexity has expanded its AI-powered Comet Browser to Android, bringing smart summaries, built-in ad blocking, and hands-free voice browsing to mobile users. Designed as a Google Chrome alternative, the AI-first browser enhances research, navigation, and daily browsing tasks with intelligent automation.
AI company Perplexity has launched its Comet AI Browser for Android smartphones. Previously available only for desktop users, the browser now brings powerful AI-driven browsing features directly to mobile devices. With this, users can perform many tasks effortlessly through AI instead of manually navigating webpages.
The Android version includes all major features from the desktop browser, such as an integrated AI assistant, voice mode, and smart summaries. Users can ask questions related to any webpage, get instant answers, and even generate summaries of all open tabs at once.
One of the standout features of the Comet Android app is Smart Summary.
The AI can generate clean, concise overviews of long articles or even all open tabs. This helps users grasp important points instantly without reading the entire content.
The feature is especially useful during research or while going through lengthy reports. According to the company, the Android browser can summarize every open tab automatically.
The browser comes with a pre-installed ad blocker, ensuring a clean browsing experience.
Unnecessary ads are removed, pages load faster, and users can whitelist trusted websites—just like in the desktop version.
The Comet AI Browser for Android also includes a voice mode, allowing hands-free browsing.
Users don’t need to type; they can simply speak their queries or commands to search for any information.
The same AI assistant available on the desktop version is now integrated into the Android app.
Users can ask continuous follow-up questions, understand complex topics, and assign multiple tasks—all within the browser itself.
Perplexity has announced that several new features will be added soon. These include:
A conversational agent capable of searching across multiple websites simultaneously
Custom shortcuts to speed up routine tasks
These enhancements aim to make the browser even more powerful and user-friendly.
The launch of the Comet AI Browser on Android comes at a time when users increasingly prefer smart and automated mobile browsing.
While companies like OpenAI, Opera, and Arc are still focused mainly on desktop experiences, Google continues integrating its Gemini AI within Chrome.
Perplexity, however, has built Comet as a mobile-first AI-centered browser from the beginning, giving it a competitive advantage in the mobile AI browsing space.
