Automate browser chores with Comet
Commenters use Comet to refine front-end design, work while they grade projects, and read release emails to add songs to a Spotify playlist.
Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- Commenters describe using Comet as a browser agent for small web chores they can hand off mid-task. One had it post deadline-extension announcements and update assignment due dates across three Canvas classes while they graded; another told it to read release emails from a Gmail label and add the new items to an existing Spotify playlist; a designer used screenshots and back-and-forth prompts to get front-end feedback on spacing, fonts, and layout.
- How it went
- Reported outcomes were mainly time savings and convenience: the music workflow saved one commenter about an hour each week, and the instructor said Comet handled the class updates while they worked on something else. Limits also showed up in the thread, with some users calling tasks unreliable or slow.
- Worth knowing
- The clearest concrete payoff in the thread was the Gmail-to-Spotify routine saving about an hour per week.
