Perplexity Comet
45 published cases mention this tool.
Perplexity Comet is an agentic browser, with 45 cases: searching flights under airline constraints, booking a restaurant and drafting the reschedule email, clearing a Gmail spam folder, bulk-applying to LinkedIn jobs. The limits are on the page: early access required the $200/month Max plan; logins, CAPTCHAs, and payments hand control back to a human; and the AI features chew through CPU and RAM when many tabs are open.
