Perplexity Comet

Agentic Browsing & Task Execution

Ask Comet to read pages, follow links, compare sources, translate, and carry out actions like booking, purchasing, or drafting emails. It plans steps, keeps a reasoning trail with citations, and shows progress as it navigates the web for you. Because it runs inside the browser, results reflect what real users see. Use it to get up to speed on topics, scan policy pages, or complete multi-site chores without juggling tabs or manual copy-paste between apps and sites.

Email & Calendar Management

Connect Gmail or Outlook to let Comet brief you for the day, answer questions about your inbox, draft replies, and schedule meetings with availability checks. It summarizes long threads, extracts action items, and links back to original messages for traceability. Paired with web research, it can pull event details or travel policies into a single overview. The goal: fewer browser switches and faster follow-through on communications that normally sprawl across tabs.

Chromium Base with Easy Import

Built on Chromium, Comet supports familiar web standards and lets you import extensions, settings, and bookmarks in one step. This preserves your current workflows while adding an assistant that can act. You keep the sites and devtools you rely on, with AI layered beside them in a sidebar. Windows and Mac builds make rollout straightforward for teams, and the continuity reduces risk when testing AI browsing—no retraining users to a novel UX before value shows up.

Research Summaries with Citations

Use Comet to investigate complex questions and produce compact summaries that cite every claim. It extracts key passages, contrasts viewpoints, and links you to sources for verification. When facts conflict, you can expand the reasoning steps and adjust the plan. This creates repeatable research runs you can share with stakeholders, replacing ad-hoc notes and screenshots. Pair with extraction to capture full text for later review or grounding in RAG workflows outside the browser.

Controls & Safety Considerations

Because AI can act, Comet includes permissions and confirmations before executing sensitive steps. Best practice is to review actions, restrict access to financial accounts, and verify sites before checkout—agentic browsing requires human judgment. Admins should pilot in low-risk contexts, monitor logs, and keep extensions minimal. With sensible guardrails, teams gain speed on routine flows while staying mindful of phishing and hostile prompts that can appear in web content.
