Status
Perplexity Comet is Beta.
The integration path is built and tested. Customers can attach now; expect minor breaking changes until the 1.0 contract freeze.
How to attach
Browser instrumentation.
Issue a workspace API key
Generate a key in the dashboard under Settings → API Keys, scoped to the workspace and environment this agent's data should land in.
Install the instrumentation
Load the Intramedial browser extension unpacked from the repo (`chrome://extensions` → Developer mode → Load unpacked) — the Web Store listing is not up yet for desktop use, or build the Intramedial-instrumented Chromium image from `browser-extension/chromium/Dockerfile` (it is not on a public registry yet) for headless runs. Perplexity Comet's activity is observed at the click and DOM-event layer.
Verify
Trigger one agent run. The Witness page shows the record once the agent has emitted it.

2 event types, captured today.
- agent.invocation

Start recording Perplexity Comet agents.
Every Perplexity Comet run lands in the same canonical Witness record as every other framework in the catalogue: signed, replayable, and exportable as evidence.
Agents act when the plane says yes, and the record says why.
Put admission in front of your MCP servers, repositories, SaaS tools and cloud accounts. Every agent gets a lease or a reason – and you keep the lever to stop any of them.
