Perplexity has launched Comet, a web browser predominantly powered by AI, to advance their competition with Google. The purpose of Comet is to greatly aid users with any task. The most prominent functions of the browser are its ability to summarize web pages users are on and to answer questions about the content. However, users reported that Comet is only good at automating small tasks, such as to do lists and emails. It's also been noted that Comet needs copious permissions, making users uncomfortable.
