Been digging into Perplexity’s new Comet browser and… it’s pretty cool.
Rather than working like a chatbot, it works as an AI layer within your browser that can take action inside your browser in an agent-like fashion.
Here’s what stood out:
🔑 Benefits
- Agentic AI: it doesn’t just fetch info, it does things (navigate sites, pull metrics, find files).
- Podcast/YouTube workflows: ask “what was my most downloaded episode last quarter?” and it digs through your dashboard.
- Content repurposing: auto-generates posts, titles, even thumbnails from transcripts.
- Context awareness: remembers what you’ve been working on, builds on past queries.
- Research assistant: For example if you run a podcast it can find top podcasts/videos in your niche and surface trending topics/guests.
- Chromium-based: familiar setup, Chrome extensions still work.
What's cool about this is that it basically works as a VA within your browser helping to save so much time.

Has anyone here tested it yet?
Curious how agencies could fold this into client workflows (reporting, content repurposing, ideation).
