Perplexity Comet – interested in your feedback

I like Perplexity and was excited to try Comet - but I'm failing to see the significant value Comet is providing apart from simply being a browser. Thoughts?

I’m not even bothering with “AI browsers”. If it’s worthwhile, it seems like it could just be an extension or something that will be built into existing browsers. I’m not in that much of a hurry, or buying into the idea that I need a whole new browser just for a little AI.

Right - that's what I'm thinking as well.

In Comet I can type "Click on each of the numbered links on the Hacker News front page and summarize them in 3 - 5 sentences each then email me a summary."

This absolutely elevates the speed and simplicity with which I can accomplish certain complex multi-step workflows. The biggest obstacle right now is to expand my thinking to see what else I can do to make use of this power.
