Book a pet-friendly hotel with a browser agent
A reviewer asked Comet to book a hotel with specific criteria like pet-friendly rooms, but it couldn't connect to booking sites and stumbled on complex tasks.
Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- The reviewer tested Perplexity's Comet browser on a hotel booking request with specific criteria, including pet-friendly rooms. The source gives no more detail on the prompt or the steps. In a separate test, Comet found women's boots and tried to check out on its own.
- How it went
- The hotel task failed. Comet said it couldn't connect to booking websites. The boots test worked until checkout, where it kept hitting errors. The review calls the hotel gap a critical one for trip planning.
- Worth knowing
- Don't count on Comet to finish bookings or checkouts. It did better at researching and shortlisting products than at completing transactions.
