Agentic Browsers


Listen Later

Toby, Dan, and guest Craig Hepburn step inside the AI browser wars, and ask if the future of the internet is being quietly rewritten not by models, but by interfaces. This episode zooms in on Perplexity’s new agentic browser Comet, the real promise (and limits) of context-aware assistants, and what gets lost when AI "helps" too much.


Details in the Show

  • Why “the browser” might be AI’s most important battlefield, and what Perplexity’s big bet reveals
  • The rise of agentic interfaces and the myth of productivity-as-progress
  • The paradox of better UX: does frictionless mean future-proof, or forgettable?
  • Why Google is still sleeping at the wheel, and how fast that could change
  • What Craig learned from testing five AI browsers, and which one might actually stick
  • The power (and danger) of right-click reversal: what happens when the browser starts prompting you
  • A little “closed system vs. open protocol” debate
  • How context layers could finally fix the broken web… or break it entirely
