Email a daily AI news brief and build slide decks from tabs
Comet searches the day's AI news, picks the top 5 stories and emails a brief, and merges tagged tabs and reports into a cited Google Slides deck.
Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- In Comet, Perplexity's AI browser, the author asked it to search the day's AI news across major outlets, pick the top 5 stories and email a brief. This can be saved as a shortcut or a recurring task. For decks, she tagged open tabs, articles and reports and asked Comet to merge them into a Google Slides presentation with headings, citations and an executive summary.
- How it went
- The email brief was actually sent, which plain chatbots can't do. The slide deck was not great design-wise, but it covered part of the work. The source gives no timings or counts.
- Worth knowing
- Keep prompts short and focused. Long multi-step requests often stop partway through, and Comet can be slower than doing the task by hand.
