Comet is a new AI-powered web browser developed by Perplexity AI that transforms the internet browsing experience into a more natural, conversational, and task-focused interaction. It integrates an AI assistant that actively helps users by conducting browsing sessions, answering questions in context, comparing information, and automating workflows like booking meetings or sending emails. The goal of Comet is to shift internet use from mere browsing to cognitive assistance, enabling users to think out loud and have the assistant execute tasks, making the internet more fluid and responsive to human thought processes. Comet was launched publicly and is available for free, aiming to make web research and other online activities more efficient and engaging.
Regarding Discord, Comet AI browser is currently part of a special limited- time event where Discord users can earn 5,000 Discord Orbs by using the Comet AI browser for 15 minutes alongside the Discord client on a PC. This quest requires the user to have both the Discord client and Comet AI browser open at the same time. Users have reported issues with the quest getting stuck at 0% loading, but there are solutions involving running both applications on a PC (not mobile), and sometimes using a VPN helps. After completing the 15 minutes of use, users can claim the reward and receive 5,000 Orbs in their Discord account.
