Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword in Silicon Valley—it is transforming how we live, shop, and interact with the world around us. One of the clearest signs of this shift is happening in home improvement retail, where Lowe’s Companies, Inc. has partnered with Perplexity to bring the power of AI directly to customers through the Comet browser.
This collaboration marks Lowe’s as the first home improvement retailer to embrace Perplexity’s AI-powered browser, positioning the company at the forefront of contextual commerce—where shopping meets real-time problem solving. Instead of scrolling endlessly through pages of tools, décor, or supplies, customers can now receive intelligent, project-based guidance that simplifies decision-making and saves valuable time.
Meeting Customers Where They Are
Home improvement is inherently complex. A leaky faucet, a sudden need to repaint a room, or a decision to renovate a bathroom can quickly turn into overwhelming projects. Traditionally, customers relied on in-store associates or hours of research online to figure out what they needed.
