Perplexity AI is actively negotiating the pre-installation of its new browser, Comet, on mobile devices in a bid to increase its user base.

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has revealed that the startup is in advanced talks with smartphone manufacturers to install its new browser, Comet, on the devices. The move could significantly increase Perplexity's user base by taking advantage of what's known as 'browser stickiness', the tendency for users to stick with the default browser pre-installed on phones.
