AI Browsers Are Arriving

Perplexity Team, on perplexity.ai:

Comet transforms any webpage into a portal of curiosity. Highlight any text to get instant explanations. Explore tangential ideas without losing your original context. Ask specialized questions or broad ones—Comet understands that genuine curiosity doesn’t follow predetermined paths.

Only for their $200/month subscribers, but they have planted the flag. OpenAI’s one is coming, and Dia now has sidetabs.

I see the value in the AI enhanced browser — doing research with Dia removes significant friction from the copy/paste heavy process from just days ago. But can’t help think that an OS level AI, will make these top-down solutions less relevant.

But clearly, the race is on.
