PayPal and Venmo customers in the US and unnamed other markets will be able to skip the waitlist for the Comet browser through a free 12-month trial of Perplexity Pro valued at $200.<\/p>\n
Launched in July, Comet integrates AI outfit Perplexity’s tools directly into web browsing, providing an integrated AI assistant, native answer-focused search, and product comparisons.<\/p>\n
Ryan Foutty, VP, business, Perplexity, says: “The Comet browser is like a personal shopper and personal assistant all in one, so we’re excited that PayPal users will have early access to Comet.” <\/p>\n
Diego Scotti, GM, consumer group, PayPal, adds: “It’s exciting to deliver offers and tools that our customers request most, meeting their needs and helping them navigate their financial lives with greater simplicity, added convenience, and even more rewards.”<\/p>\n
Perplexity Pro is one of the first offers made available to customers directly in PayPal’s new subscriptions hub, a single destination to view and manage recurring subscription payments. Users can sign up for the package directly in the PayPal app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PayPal and Venmo users in some countries are being offered early access to Perplexity’s new AI-powered web browser.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2436,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1643,916,1650,1647,138,1652,1651,1649,1645,246,1644,1641,1646,42,1655,1426,702,700,342,111,43,139,69,1642,1653,1654,644,1321,370,145,584,1648],"class_list":["post-2435","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-bank","tag-banking","tag-blockchain","tag-breaking","tag-business","tag-challenger","tag-digital","tag-execution","tag-fin","tag-finance","tag-financial","tag-finextra","tag-fintech","tag-headlines","tag-insurtech","tag-investment","tag-it","tag-latest","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-online","tag-payments","tag-regtech","tag-retail","tag-services","tag-tech","tag-technology","tag-trade","tag-transaction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2435\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
