Former Perplexity Comet Engineer Launches AI Browser

A new browser built specifically for research and knowledge work has emerged from stealth. Developed by a former engineer from Perplexity's Comet platform, the software integrates local AI vector databases and agentic search protocols directly into the browser core.

The browser represents a shift toward edge-based AI processing. Developers configuring search plugins can format their configuration files with the [Code Formatter](/tools/code-formatter/) for clean integrations.

Decoupling Search from the Remote Cloud

The browser indexes the user's history and active tabs, generating local embeddings stored in an encrypted database. This allows users to ask complex questions about their active research sessions without sending data to external clouds.

Running Embeddings Locally via WebGPU

The software utilizes WebGPU to execute lightweight models locally, minimizing latency and server costs. The beta version is available for developers and power users starting today.
