Perplexity is aiming for massive user growth by 2026, targeting “tens to hundreds of millions” through pre-installation of its Comet browser on smartphones.

A wider rollout via an invite system is planned soon. The company is reportedly in talks with smartphone manufacturers to achieve this ambitious distribution goal, signaling a push to directly compete with established mobile browsers. This pre-installation strategy could significantly boost Perplexity’s user base and solidify its position in the rapidly evolving AI-powered search and browsing landscape.
