Description
🖼️ Tool Name:
Comet (by Perplexity)
🔖 Tool Category:
AI-powered agentic browser; it belongs to Productivity & Automation and Content Creation & Communication, also under General Tools – Generative AI & Media Creation.
✏️ What does this tool offer?
Comet is a web browser built with native AI capabilities. It integrates Perplexity’s AI tools directly into browsing so that the browser behaves more like a personal assistant than a passive viewer. You can ask it to summarize pages, manage your calendar, execute tasks across tabs, and more — all from within the browser.
⭐ What does the tool actually deliver based on user experience?
• Summaries, explanations, and contextual insights as you browse — no need to switch to another app or copy/paste.
• Task automation: Comet can take actions like closing unused tabs, grouping research tabs, checking your schedule, and more.
• Cross-tab workflows: it can pull data from one tab and use it in another (e.g. extract info from a site and insert into a spreadsheet).
• Integration with email, calendar, and personal data (with permission) to perform tasks like scheduling.
🤖 Does it include automation?
Yes — Comet is designed to automate many browser-based tasks:
• It can act on your commands (e.g. “move my next meeting”) across apps inside the browser.
• It maintains context across your browsing session, so it “remembers” what you were doing and can pick up tasks in the same flow.
• It uses AI to generate insights, summaries, and to assist with multi-step actions without manual switching between apps.
💰 Pricing Model:
Comet is currently included in certain Perplexity subscription tiers.
It has been made freely available (at least in its basic form) to more users recently.
🆓 Free Plan Details:
The basic browser version is now free to users.
💳 Paid Plan Details:
Advanced features, deeper AI integrations, or “plus” features are part of the higher subscription tiers of Perplexity.
🧭 Access Method:
• Install Comet as a standalone browser (built on Chromium).
• Use it like a normal browser, but with an AI assistant sidebar or overlay to interact with content.
