It's orchestrating 19 different AI models, and it can even spin up what they are saying are sub-agents to tackle specific sub-problems.

I think there's no hands-on demo that they've provided to anyone yet, but they've shown some examples of the workflows on their website, and basically they're showing the system kind of going around.

It's gathering financial, legal, statistical data.

It's conducting a bunch of multi-step analysis.

It's presenting results as kind of a finished website or a visualization.

I think the product was originally slated for a live demo during a background media briefing last week, but then they canceled the demo after they identified some last minute flaws in the software.

This is kind of brutal.

I mean, it really just shows how breakneck we are right now with a lot of these software.

And to be fair, we've seen companies that have not done that right, like Google at Google I.O.

last year.

I remember they were demoing their glasses last

this kind of new computer vision glasses that was you know showing google maps live on your on your google lens in front of you and while they were demoing it it kind of crashed and stopped working so uh sometimes the software is not ready but they just want to get it out there they're excited to show it off in this case perplexity did pull back and uh is waiting since i guess they don't have like a huge event with thousands of people there that they gotta

Wow, they can always show it in the future.

So this launch, though, that they're going to be rolling out, I think, is the next step basically for Perplexity's evolution.

Perplexity is a company that kind of started out doing what Google AI is doing today in Google search.

And that's where they got a lot of their initial user base.

Initially, they were kind of this search engine, like I mentioned, but they've pivoted and done a lot of additional things.

So one of those is Comet.

It's an entire web browser.

They're kind of positioning themselves as a new layer between users and the internet.
