The AI-powered search engine from Perplexity, an innovative AI startup, has witnessed remarkable growth, logging 780 million queries in May 2025—a 20% surge from the previous month. Daily query volumes have skyrocketed from 3,000 at the start of 2022 to an astonishing 30 million today. Should this upward trajectory persist, Perplexity is poised to manage 1 billion queries per week within the next year. Aravind Srinivas, the company's CEO, recently announced the impending launch of Comet, a novel browser envisioned as a "cognitive operating system." Comet aims to elevate user efficiency and engagement, reimagining the way we interact with the internet. The browser is anticipated to debut in the coming weeks.
