AI search startup Perplexity is reportedly in discussions with several smartphone manufacturers to have its Comet AI-powered mobile browser pre-installed on upcoming devices, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The move signals Perplexity’s ambitions to expand its footprint in the mobile ecosystem and directly challenge dominant browsers like Google Chrome and Safari. The Comet browser, powered by Perplexity’s conversational AI engine, integrates real-time web search, natural-language responses, and generative summaries, positioning it as a next-gen alternative to traditional search interfaces.
While no official deals have been announced, insiders say talks include both Android OEMs and global handset makers exploring alternatives amid growing scrutiny of Google’s mobile search monopoly.
Perplexity’s spokesperson declined to comment on specific negotiations but confirmed the company is “exploring strategic partnerships to accelerate Comet’s mobile adoption.”
If successful, pre-installation deals could give Perplexity significant reach—and potentially reshape how mobile users access information, bypassing conventional search engines entirely.
