About Comet
Comet is Perplexity's agentic browser that can browse, book, shop, and research on your behalf.
Its edge is the built-in agent: it can autonomously perform web tasks like booking, shopping, and researching, and it integrates Perplexity's AI search directly into browsing through an assistant sidebar. It's built on Chromium, so it works with existing Chrome extensions and web standards, and runs natively on macOS and Windows.
It suits people who want an agent-driven browser and already pay for Perplexity, since access requires a paid subscription with no free tier. It's not for Linux or mobile users, and as a relatively new product it may have stability issues or a narrower extension ecosystem than established browsers.
Against mainstream browsers, Comet trades broad platform reach for a native Perplexity agent baked into browsing.

- How to Get Your AI App Cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity
To get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity, be the clearest answer in several places at once. Publish answer-first pages with extractable facts, get listed on directories and review sites the engines crawl, and build consistent mentions across Reddit, YouTube, and your own site. Perplexity tends to favour recent content; ChatGPT appears to weight agreement across sources.

If you built something with AI, posting is getting hard to ignore. GaryVee's 'interest media' shift is real — more feeds now recommend content by interest, not only by who follows you — so a maker with zero followers can sometimes out-reach an established brand. That's the unlock and the mandate: building got faster, getting seen is the job, and many products struggle to grow without it. Here's the honest first move, written for a builder who would rather ship a feature than post.

When AI makes building a product trivial and floods the web with generic content, marketing inverts: distribution becomes the moat, and distribution increasingly means being the source AI answer engines and buying agents cite and recommend.
