Perplexity Comet and AI browsers

Q: What can Perplexity Comet and AI browsers act on?

Executes autonomously. A browser whose assistant reads open tabs and acts in them; usually a personal install.

Q: What does Perplexity Comet and AI browsers reach by default?

Every tab, and the mail and calendar it is granted.

Q: Is a human in the loop with Perplexity Comet and AI browsers, and does data leave the tenant?

Human in the loop by default: configurable. Data leaves the tenant by default: yes. It executes on its own, so it needs the controls of an account that acts: a log you can read, a scope in writing, and a person who can switch it off. Data leaves your tenant to the vendor by default.

What that means for the register

It executes on its own, so it needs the controls of an account that acts: a log you can read, a scope in writing, and a person who can switch it off. Data leaves your tenant to the vendor by default. Pasted with only its name it lands as control until an owner is named, and the paste says whether it runs on a managed plan.

Treat like any unmanaged browser: not on managed devices without a decision.
