Comet shortlisted sunny destinations by flight time from Amsterdam, then pulled Airbnb and Booking.com listings into a comparison table.

- What they did
- In a live session, Thibault Masson of RSU by PriceLabs opened Perplexity's Comet browser and gave it one prompt. The prompt asked for five apartments for four nights in April, under €250 a night, sunny, good for remote work, and within a 3-hour flight of Amsterdam. He named no destination. He took his hands off the keyboard while the agent worked out flight times, picked cities, opened Airbnb and Booking.com, and extracted listing details.
- How it went
- Comet returned a table of five apartments with Wi-Fi speeds, flight durations and nightly prices, and named Lisbon, Malaga and Valencia as candidate cities. The article gives no accuracy check and no booking step.
- Worth knowing
- With a broad prompt like this, the agent defaulted to Airbnb and Booking.com. Masson says more specific asks, such as design-led stays, pulled from niche sites instead.
