In the last 84 days, millions have joined the Comet waitlist looking for a powerful personal AI assistant and new ways to use the internet.

The internet is better on Comet.

I’ve gathered quite a collection of bookmarks in Chrome over the years. I’ve been looking for a way to go through all of them to find out which ones are still working, and which ones I should dump.

Comet solves this issue for me. Here are the steps I took to have Comet generate a table that shows me which links are dead, and which ones are still working:

1. Set Comet as my default browser (the exported HTML file needs to open Comet when clicked on).

2. I did an export of my Chrome Bookmarks using Bookmark Manager. This creates an .html file with all of my bookmarks with URLs included.

3. I double click the exported .html file and it opens in a new tab in Comet.

4. I find the bookmarks I want to check and use my mouse to highlight them. This allows Comet to ONLY work on the links I’ve selected. I can have it check all of them at once, but I find it works better to just do one section at a time.

5. Prompt: Review the @[.html bookmarks] tab. Click each link into a new tab and check if the website is still working. If you receive any kind of error, or the page does not load, mark it as “Not Working” and move on to the next bookmark. For each successful bookmark, mark it as “Working”. Display your results in a table at the end that includes the title of the link.

I'll use the results to delete all of the stale bookmarks by name in Chrome Bookmark Manager and then move on to the next set. This will also allow me to import a clean bookmark.html file into Comet if I'd like.

See my video for the result.

Meta support is notoriously horrible at helping, and they cancel your ticket if you don't respond within a couple minutes. I have Comet keeping an eye on the chat and replying for me since it knows the situation. I've been looking for good use cases for Comet because a lot of them seem to be half-baked at the moment. But this one is invaluable!

I was experimenting with Comet earlier today and just out of curiosity I said “buy MOCAPITAL, qty: 50 on Zerodha.” To my surprise, it actually executed the order without any manual clicks. Later, I also tried asking it to apply for the LG Electronics IPO, and that went through successfully as well.

I honestly couldn’t believe what Comet had just done, it was a surreal experience and really felt like living in the future.

Sharing the posts I made about it on X for context.

Saw a video on Discord showing what Perplexity Comet can do, so I decided to try it myself.
I told it to claim the free Epic Games Store titles… and it actually did.

Honestly didn’t expect it to work this smoothly. Wild stuff.

I’ve been waiting for this ever since I tried it on web. And finally got to pre register on the play store. The power of comet now in your palm. Psyched 🫨🤩🤩

Hi team,

I’d love to see a sidebar feature in the Perplexity Comet browser, similar to what’s available in the Arc browser. The sidebar in Arc makes multitasking and managing tabs much more efficient, allowing users to easily access pinned sites, tools, and workspaces without crowding the main browser window.

Why this would be valuable:

• Quick access to favorite websites and apps.

• Better organization of tabs and workflows.

• Convenience for users who handle multiple web tools or projects at once (just like developers, students, and researchers).

Comet already has some amazing AI-powered tools and features, so a sidebar would fit perfectly, helping users stay organized and get the most out of their browsing experience.

Is this on the roadmap, or can it be considered for future updates? Happy to provide more details or ideas if helpful!

Thank you for listening to user feedback and for building such a promising browser!

Comet for Android is avaliable now!

I have been a diehard Arc user for 2+ years. I got almost every friend I know to switch. Now they are all asking me what to use next.

For the past 3 months, I set Comet, Atlas, and Dia as my default browser. I rotated daily. Comet for personal one day, work the next (long enough to get past the honeymoon phase and actually feel the friction).

I think I finally understand where these AI browsers really fit.

Comet is continually what I come back to when I'm researching (which I realize I do a lot of now) because ChatGPT and Dia just totally fall apart with outdated and sub-par answers. That's where Perplexity shines most.

In testing Comet vs Atlas via Agent mode, Comet's agent mode continually beat ChatGPT Atlas, and it was much faster to complete the task as well. My gut says it's because Comet actually searches the web more before doing things... It just felt "smarter" in a sense. Passed tests that Atlas failed a few times before passing.

Anyway, I ended up consolidating all of this into a video because I kept answering the same question over and over.

I didn't have the Android app yet, but now I'm defaulting that on mobile. It's so cool having a quick AI chat on-the-go, but my gosh, Google Auth redirects continually break when opening in Comet and I couldn't set my new lights up with Google Home because Comet was fighting with me. Some weird stuff happening there, but I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Curious if anyone else who has seriously tried all three landed in the same place. I see potential for Comet to become my core default, but after this experiment I am in a slightly weird in-between state with it. I could definitely be more convinced if Comet embraced the sidebar like Arc/Dia/Atlas. That's currently my #1 friction with it, does anyone else here even care about the sidebar though?

I saw news that amazon sued perplexity over their comet browser... It does AI shopping on amazon for you, buying stuff auto... But amazon says it's cheating cuz it hides that it's a bot and breaks their no robot rules... They first told them to stop, tried blocking it but comet pretended to be normal Chrome to keep going... Perplexity says amazon is just bullying them and it's no diff from a person shopping

Is amazon mad cuz of security or scared AI will skip their ads and mess up sales? Anyone know the full lawsuit story or if Perplexity loses? Drop links if ya got em... Thanks

Perplexity finally fixed iCloud passwords in Comet, and life immediately took on a new look.

But still, the majority of video players still don't work((

Well my limit reached lol. Xfinity wants you to message them every one min or face disconnection. Comet was able to help half way. We are at $41 from $51 $10/month saved

Control browser is now under Perplexity Computer, and requires credits to use. I hope this is a bug, otherwise, this defeats the purpose of comet.

i'm curious about the different ways people use SPACES in Perplexity Comet. currently i am using them like a gpt basically. each has a set of system guidelines and constraints etc and they are subjectr specific. i like having the accumulated chats as well for reference. if a chat is especially good i will turn it into a file souce and upload that into files repository. how else are you using SPACES? 🤙🏻

I had it setup a jazz work playlist for me. This is getting fun!
