OpenAI and Perplexity are planning to challenge Google's dominance in the browser market by releasing their own AI-powered browsers, with OpenAI's browser expected soon and Perplexity's Comet browser already announced, featuring AI assistance and targeting high-paying subscribers.
Perplexity has launched Comet, an AI-powered web browser featuring its AI search engine and Comet Assistant, aiming to challenge Google Search and compete in the browser market. The browser offers AI-generated search summaries and an AI agent that can automate tasks across apps and websites, but faces challenges with complex requests and user privacy concerns. Despite competition from other AI browsers and tech giants, Comet's innovative features could give Perplexity an edge in the evolving browser landscape.
Perplexity is expanding its AI-powered Comet browser, initially launched for Mac, to Windows users with invites sent to early testers, and hints at an Android release, aiming to compete with browsers like Opera Neon and offerings from Google and OpenAI.
Perplexity Labs has launched an AI-powered tool for Pro subscribers to quickly generate reports and visualizations, while other tech news includes new AI-focused browsers from Arc, Opera, and Comet, and updates on security breaches, AI automation in jobs, and new features in apps like WhatsApp and Tinder. The week also saw a collaboration between Oculus founder Palmer Luckey and Facebook for military XR devices, and significant investments in Grammarly.
The Browser Company has ceased active development of its Arc browser to focus on Dia, an AI-powered browser environment that enhances user productivity through intelligent features, with plans to test and potentially expand access soon.
The Browser Company is considering selling or open-sourcing its Arc Browser as it shifts focus to developing a new AI-powered browser called Dia, citing the complexity and user adoption challenges of Arc, and highlighting the difficulty of open-sourcing it due to its core SDK, ADK, which is vital for their new product.
Opera is set to launch a new AI-powered browser for iOS in Europe following Apple's decision to allow alternative browser engines on iOS due to the European Digital Markets Act. The changes will enable developers to offer non-WebKit-based browsers, providing users with more browser options. The new browser, named Opera One, is expected to debut in March and will feature AI-centric capabilities. Opera also expressed hope for these changes to be implemented globally and announced a major investment in a key AI infrastructure project in Europe.
