Research conference speakers and organize tabs
Comet researched 50 HumanX speakers, surfaced themes and podcast guests, built a camera spec table, and cleaned up tabs.
Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- Jason Howell used Perplexity's Comet browser, which can see all open tabs. For conference research, he gave it an email listing the first 50 HumanX speakers. Comet pulled the agenda, researched speaker backgrounds and surfaced themes. For cameras, he opened three product pages and asked for a markdown spec table. For tabs, he gave one prompt to group and clean up a messy browser.
- How it went
- Comet recommended the best speakers as podcast guests and built a clear camera table that ignored irrelevant tabs. It grouped articles and recipes, closed duplicates, and closed blank tabs after a follow-up. In a separate scheduling test it got the email recipient wrong.
- Worth knowing
- Comet needs deep access to your tabs, calendar and accounts, which the author names as the trade-off. His verdict comes after only 24 hours of testing.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
I'm attending [conference name]. Research the [number, e.g. 30] speakers listed on [speaker page URL]: for each, note their role, company, and topic, then summarize the main themes and suggest [5] who would make good podcast guests. Put it all in one table and then close any tabs you opened that are no longer needed, once I've seen the summary.
