Perplexity is taking Comet deeper into the workplace with Comet Enterprise, a managed version of its AI-native browser aimed at companies that want an always-on assistant inside the browser itself. The pitch is straightforward: employees spend most of the day in tabs, so Perplexity wants the browser, not the chatbot window, to become the place where research, summarization, email drafting, calendar work, and multi-step web tasks happen. Official support materials describe Comet as Chromium-based, with browser commands, contextual page analysis, Gmail and calendar queries, and an agent that can handle tasks across sites while asking for approval on sensitive actions.
Today we're launching Comet Enterprise.

What changes in the enterprise edition is the control layer. Perplexity says admins can deploy Comet across macOS and Windows through existing MDM tools, use silent or offline installers, manage the rollout from a central dashboard, and apply more than 500 Chromium-based browser policies. Admins can also restrict agent actions, block domains, require approvals, and monitor usage through telemetry, with audit logs available for larger Enterprise Pro or Max setups. Chrome extensions are supported in most cases, but they need to be reinstalled rather than imported with their old data, which matters for IT teams planning migrations from Chrome.
Security is the main selling point. Perplexity says enterprise data is not logged or used for model training, blocked corporate sites remain blocked inside Comet, and third-party model providers are contractually barred from retaining data sent through the browser. Across its official materials, the company ties Comet Enterprise to SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA-related compliance language. It is also adding a CrowdStrike layer announced on March 11, 2026, with opt-in Falcon protections for runtime monitoring, governance, data protection, and visibility on unmanaged devices. That makes this less of a simple browser launch and more of a bid to turn Comet into a governed enterprise endpoint for agentic work.
The backdrop is Perplexity’s broader push from AI search into workplace software. Its official hub shows Comet first launched in July 2025, followed by Comet for Enterprise Pro in August 2025, while the main Comet product is now marketed across Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. In that context, Comet Enterprise looks like the company’s attempt to move from consumer browsing assistant to full company-wide browser layer. Perplexity’s own customer example comes from Atrium Hospitality, where an AI manager says Comet can pull context across separate hotel brand systems and draft analysis before a morning revenue call. That is the audience here: browser-heavy teams that want AI to act inside live workflows, not just answer questions in a separate tab.
