- What they did
- Felix Pappe made Perplexity's Comet agentic browser his default for 30 days and used it as a search assistant. Tasks included summarising long YouTube videos, planning a one-day walking tour through London, searching for cheap flights within specific time windows, and drafting real emails.
- How it went
- He says it saved time in some places and struggled in others, pointing to its screenshot-driven workflow as a weak spot. The accessible text gives no per-task results or numbers.
- Worth knowing
- The article is member-only and only the intro was readable, so check the full piece for the specific London and flight results and the pitfalls.
