PayPal and Venmo have announced a partnership with Perplexity, an AI company backed by NVIDIA and Bezos, to offer users early access to the Comet AI browser. This collaboration allows PayPal and Venmo users to receive a free 12-month subscription to Perplexity Pro, valued at $200 annually. The subscription is available through PayPal’s new in-app subscriptions hub. The Comet browser, integrated with Perplexity’s AI, serves as the default search engine and offers features such as AI-generated summaries and product comparisons.
