PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) has announced that PayPal and Venmo users in the US and select global markets will gain early access to Perplexity's AI-powered Comet browser, bypassing the waitlist [1]. This move is part of a strategic partnership between PayPal and Perplexity, a startup backed by Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), which offers AI-powered browser capabilities.
The early access will include a free 12-month trial of Perplexity Pro, valued at $200 [1]. This offer is available through PayPal’s new in-app subscriptions hub, where users can manage their recurring payments. Additionally, eligible U.S. customers who link and pay for three subscriptions in the hub will receive $50 cashback for a limited time [1].
The Comet browser features an integrated AI assistant, answer-focused search, and product comparison tools. It is built on Chromium, the open-source codebase beneath Chrome, Edge, and Opera [2]. Perplexity's AI is integrated into Comet and serves as the browser's default search engine, allowing users to interact with AI for various tasks, such as summarizing text or sending emails [2].
This partnership aims to provide PayPal and Venmo users with advanced AI tools and enhance their user experience. The new subscriptions hub is designed to streamline the management of recurring payments and offers bundled deals and cashback incentives [1].
