🛠️ Tool Tuesday: I Tried Perplexity Comet — And It Feels Like the Future of Browsing
I’ll be honest. I didn’t think the world needed another browser.
Then I opened Perplexity Comet, and within five minutes I was like,
“Oh. This isn’t Chrome with lipstick. This is something new.”
Here’s the deal: Comet isn’t a browser extension. It’s a full AI-powered browser.
Built from the ground up by Perplexity, it’s part search engine, part research assistant, and part productivity tool that actually gets you.
Let me walk you through what I discovered 👇
⚡ The Browser That Thinks With You
Instead of just showing search results, Comet reads the web for you.
You can open any page, ask a question, and it instantly summarizes the key takeaways.
No rabbit holes. No tab chaos.
It’s like having a researcher quietly working in the background while you browse.
🤖 Smart Automation That Feels Human
This blew me away. You can literally instruct the browser to do things.
“Find me three recent studies on remote work and summarize them.”
Done.
“Compare Shopify and WooCommerce pricing.”
Done again.
It handles the tedious web tasks like forms, searches, and tab wrangling while you focus on the creative work. (It even found me a discount code on my latest online purchase!)
🧠 Your Browser Actually Remembers
Comet learns from what you do. Not in a creepy way, but in a finally useful way.
It remembers your past research, newsletters, and go-to tools, then gives personalized suggestions that actually save time.
It’s like your browser grew a brain and started anticipating what you need next.
🗓️ Email, Calendar, and Workflow in One Window
No more juggling between 10 apps.
You can bounce between Gmail, your Google Calendar, and your research in a single clean space.
For founders and content creators, it’s a productivity dream. Outreach, planning, and research finally live together.
📊 Visuals Without the Spreadsheet Stress
Highlight data on a webpage and Comet will instantly chart it for you.
You can spot trends in real time, generate beautiful visuals, and drop them straight into a presentation or newsletter.
It feels like Notion, Google Sheets, and Canva all merged into one tab.
🚀 Why Founders Are Freaking Out
Instantly validate startup ideas with live web and social data
Find trending business concepts faster than ever
Automate newsletter research and content planning
Finally kill tab overload and get your focus back (this is #1 for me. So many tabs. 😵💫)
💡 How to Try It
Comet is live now at perplexity.ai/comet.
It can auto-import your Google profile and all your important shit so you won’t even notice what’s missing. The only downside for me is switching between chrome profiles isn’t seamless like it is on Chrome. But hey, that’s a small price to pay for the AI-first browser.
🧭 Bottom Line
Perplexity Comet doesn’t just make the internet faster. It makes it smarter.
If you research, build, or write for a living, this tool feels like a cheat code.
(Oh and it’s totally free). Have fun browsing and see you tomorrow =]
