Comet for iOS now lets users trigger Computer tasks from any page they have open. The feature brings the company’s agentic system straight into the mobile app so people can hand off work without leaving the browser or pasting links elsewhere.

You can ask it to build a study kit from a video, create a deal tracker from a product page, or pull a verified briefing from a news article. The current page supplies the context and Computer takes over from there.

The team posted a quick demo showing exactly how it works. In the clip, they had a YouTube video of a keynote playing and asked the app to break down the announcements, compare them against other AI tools, and turn the whole thing into a clean PDF. A Computer panel slid open and started running several steps at once. It gathered technical details, pulled fonts, built the document, checked the layout for problems, and delivered the finished file.

It works the same way as it does on the desktop experience. So if you’ve already used Perplexity Computer on the desktop, you’ll be right at home.

I checked the Comet app on my own iPhone while typing this, but the option to start Computer tasks from the current page still isn’t there. The button or menu entry simply does not show up yet.

The App Store page for Comet still shows version 26.23.0 as the latest release. That version came out three days ago. So it is not clear whether the Computer integration will arrive through another app update or just switch on from the server side for users who already have the current version installed.

Another thing to note is that these tasks run on credits. They do not work with a regular Perplexity Pro subscription.

Comet already functions as an AI-powered browser on iOS with instant answers and in-page assistance. The new capability lets the same app handle longer, multi-step work that actually produces files or structured output. The feature has been available for some time on desktop. Bringing it to the iPhone version removes one more reason to switch devices when you want the agent to do real work instead of just chatting.

I will keep an eye on the app over the next day or two to see if it appears without any further notice.
