Platform product · Perplexity · San Francisco, CA

Work & productivity

Perplexity's agentic browser. It works through the sessions you are already logged into, so it can research a trip, compare options, fill in forms, and book, buy, send or pay on your behalf across any site. Launched July 2025, free since October 2025.

No standalone valuation
This is a product of Perplexity. Parent-company valuations and funding are excluded from the map.

Perplexity — private, and valued as an answer engine and search business rather than as a personal-agent product. The June 2026 round was raised specifically to fund Comet, but the company's headline valuation prices everything Perplexity does.

Scoring noteActs across every site you are signed into, which is the broadest action surface here — but writes like booking and paying still ask before they fire, and you have to adopt a whole new browser.
