Perplexity Release Notes

Upgraded Comet Assistant

We launched major upgrades that significantly improve the performance and overall outcomes of the Comet Assistant. It can now handle more complex, multi-site workflows while working across multiple tabs in parallel. Our internal testing shows a 23% improvement in performance, so you can expect more accurate answers and more successful completions, even on long or multi-step jobs. Comet Assistant will now also ask for your approval before doing anything in your browser, remembering your preference throughout. Read out blog post for more details.

Privacy Snapshot on the Comet Homepage

Comet was designed with privacy and security at its core, and we're introducing new features that make it even easier to see and control privacy in Comet. These include a new Privacy Snapshot widget at the top of the homepage, making it easy to access and fine-tune privacy settings. Control which actions the assistant can and cannot perform on your behalf, manage ad and tacker blocking, and much more. See our blog post to learn more.
