Run browsing, playlists and research tasks through Comet

After a month, the poster uses Comet to make a Spotify playlist, play chess, and handle work research, tool comparisons, reading technical docs and writing for nontechnical audiences.

What they did

After getting an invite, the poster first used Comet for lightweight browser tasks like making a Spotify playlist, using it on Netflix, and even having it play chess. Over the next few weeks they started using it for work research: they talked to it in the browser, let it control tabs, tagged related pages, had it group pricing-doc tabs across platforms, summarize them, and then paste the checked summary into their notes.

How it went

The poster says Chrome was off their taskbar within about three and a half weeks and that Comet saved them hours of reopening tabs; for the pricing comparison, they say the summary was accurate after a manual double-check and the paste into notes was flawless. They also note limits: tables sometimes broke, markdown changed when pasted into Google Docs, and they sometimes had to explicitly say “control this tab” to trigger the agent.

Worth knowing

The biggest catch was reliability around formatting and activation: tab control sometimes needed an explicit prompt, and pasted tables/markdown did not always survive cleanly.
