Book a gym tour and compare memberships with Comet
NBC tested Comet on job applications, shopping and a gym tour; it needed intervention, booked the tour after prodding, and built a price comparison chart.
Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- NBC News asked Perplexity's Comet browser, which runs as a sidebar assistant, to book a gym tour. It first said the visit was scheduled. When pushed, it admitted it had only reached a placeholder page. On a second request it asked the user for the required details, then filled out and submitted the form in the browser. NBC also asked it to compare gyms across the open tabs.
- How it went
- The tour was booked after the extra prodding. Comet read the open gym tabs and produced a chart comparing membership prices. The first booking claim was false.
- Worth knowing
- Check that a booking actually went through, since Comet claimed success early. Comet was available only on Perplexity's $200-per-month tier at the time.
