Perplexity launches Comet Enterprise with MDM rollout, audit logs, and CrowdStrike controls

• Perplexity launched Comet Enterprise as an enterprise version of its AI browser, positioning it for teams that want to "research, automate tasks, and get work done without leaving the browser," according to the launch post.
• The enterprise SKU adds centralized rollout and oversight: Perplexity's admin controls post says admins can deploy it to "thousands of devices" through existing MDM tools and get telemetry plus audit logs.
• Security is a core part of the pitch, with Perplexity's CrowdStrike post saying Enterprise plans integrate with CrowdStrike Falcon to detect suspicious files or links and block phishing or malware.
• Perplexity also says named customers already include Fortune, AWS, AlixPartners, Gunderson Dettmer, and Bessemer Venture Partners, as listed in the customer post.

Comet Enterprise is Perplexity's attempt to turn its AI browser into a managed enterprise surface rather than a consumer productivity tool. In the announcement, the company frames the product around browser-native AI work: research, task automation, and in-browser execution without switching apps.

That matters because the enterprise feature set is not just seat packaging. Perplexity's product page describes role-based controls, domain blocking, task restrictions, compatibility with Chrome extensions, and protections against prompt injection, alongside compliance claims including SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA. Those details push Comet closer to an endpoint-managed browser environment than a standalone assistant tab.

Perplexity also says early users already include named customers such as Fortune, AWS, AlixPartners, Gunderson Dettmer, and Bessemer Venture Partners, which suggests the launch is starting from pilot or production deployments rather than a waitlist-only release.

The operational story is centralized deployment and monitoring. Perplexity's admin controls post says admins can push Comet Enterprise to thousands of devices through existing MDM systems, while collecting telemetry and audit logs for "full visibility into AI usage." For engineering and IT teams, that is the clearest implementation detail in the launch: Comet is meant to fit into current device management rather than require a separate rollout path.

Perplexity pairs that with endpoint security controls. According to the CrowdStrike integration post, Enterprise plans integrate with CrowdStrike Falcon so suspicious files or links can be detected and blocked at the browser layer, specifically for phishing and malware. Combined with the product page's claims around permissions and session monitoring in the enterprise listing, the launch reads as a bid to make browser-embedded agents acceptable to security review, not just useful to end users.
