Perplexity announced that Comet, its personal assistant with browsing and action capabilities, is now available to Perplexity Enterprise Pro users. A browser with a mind of its own or just a tool that takes repetitive tasks off your plate? You’ll see it’s more practical than it sounds.
What is Comet for Enterprise Pro
Comet is an AI-enhanced browsing experience that goes beyond searching: it can act, automate steps, and understand context for complex tasks. Perplexity explains that after its initial rollout to Max and Pro subscribers, Comet now officially reaches Enterprise Pro customers in the United States. (perplexity.ai)
Security and privacy by design
If you work with sensitive data, this matters. Perplexity says Comet includes enterprise compliance like SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA. Also, browsing information, queries, and interactions with the AI are stored locally on devices with end-to-end encryption. Only when you request personalized assistance does Comet access a minimal set of data to provide context. (perplexity.ai)
Security and privacy aren’t optional extras. According to Perplexity, Comet was built with enterprise needs in mind from day one. (perplexity.ai)
Real benefits for teams and workflows
This isn’t just marketing: the features sound like tangible time savings. Concrete examples they mention:
- Summarize Gmail threads and draft replies.
- Analyze your calendar and create Zoom links for meetings.
- Monitor Slack channels and respond to urgent messages.
- Research vendors, compile reports, and run multi-step processes autonomously.
If you’ve ever lost hours hopping between tabs and messages, Comet aims to get that time back so you can work with more judgment. (perplexity.ai)
Intelligent agent: fewer clicks, more action
Perplexity describes agentic capabilities in Comet: the AI not only suggests, it can execute multi-step flows like market research or customer analysis. In practice that means asking Comet to find vendors, compare options, and present an actionable summary without you clicking through every result. Sound useful? Many people on product and operations teams think so. (perplexity.ai)
Integrations and technical deployment
Comet is built on Chromium, which makes it compatible with Chrome extensions, enterprise security policies, and single sign-on systems. IT admins can set permissions, monitor usage, and roll out updates at scale. There are also direct connectors to tools like Gmail and calendars, and in many cases the web interface is enough to start using Comet without complex integrations. (perplexity.ai)
What Comet is not and what you should ask before adopting it
It’s not a replacement for human judgment nor a black box without controls. Ask about:
- Exactly which data is stored and for how long.
- How permissions and admin visibility are managed.
- Which AI models are available and whether you can choose or limit their behavior.
These details matter especially if you handle regulated or competitive information. (perplexity.ai)
In practice: how to get started today
Perplexity offers more information and a live demo scheduled for August 28, 2025, which can help you see Comet in action before wide adoption. If your company already has Perplexity Enterprise Pro, the option is available to enable. For more details and deployment resources check the Comet Enterprise page. (perplexity.ai)
A final point to reflect on
Comet’s promise is familiar: technology that reduces friction and gives you time back for creative work. The difference now is Perplexity says it offers that with enterprise controls and compliance. Does this mean work will become more human? It depends on how you set boundaries and how you use AI’s power. If you do it well, you could reclaim hours each week for tasks that truly need your judgment.
