Comet, Perplexity’s AI-native browser, just went free—and it wants to change how we use the internet. In this episode we unpack what Comet is, why Perplexity built it, and how its agent can read pages, summarize sources, and even act for you—filling forms, shopping, scheduling, and more. We compare it with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and AI-add-ons in Chrome/Edge; dig into pricing (Free, Pro, Plus, Max); and explore risks: accuracy, privacy, over-automation, and the impact on publishers. If you’re an IT pro or power user wondering whether an AI in your sidebar is the future—or just more hype—this is your fast, unbiased briefing.
