From the Google Play Store, Android users can now install Perplexity's AI-powered Comet Browser. The Comet Browser can work with your voice as you ask the Comet Assistant questions about content you've been reading on the browser. For example, if you need to summarize a long magazine article you've been reading, just ask Comet to do it and it shall be done. And Comet even has the capabilities of viewing multiple tabs at one time.
