Edge's AI Assistant Outshines Perplexity's Comet

Browsers with AI helpers

Microsoft's Edge has a new feature called Copilot Mode. It's like having a smart assistant that can help you while you browse.

Perplexity, another company, also has a browser called Comet with AI features. But after trying both, Edge's Copilot Mode seems better.

Copilot Mode feels like a natural part of Edge

• It doesn't force AI on you.
• You can keep using your favorite search engine.
• But when you need help, Copilot is there.

Comet, on the other hand

• Makes you use Perplexity's search by default.
• This can be annoying if you just want a quick answer.

Cost comparison

• Copilot Mode is free to use in Edge.
• Comet, however, is only available to Perplexity's paid subscribers.
• It costs a lot of money just to try it out.
• For free users, Comet doesn't even let you choose which AI model to use.
• Edge's Copilot Mode, on the other hand, gives you access to the latest AI model, GPT-5, for free.

Tab management

Both browsers can help you manage your open tabs.

• But Copilot Mode feels more integrated and easier to use.
• It's clear that while Comet has some cool features, Copilot Mode offers a better overall experience.
• It's free, it's easy to use, and it doesn't force AI on you.
