Perplexity Comet Browser Automates Daily Tasks with AI Shortcuts and Smart Workflows
Perplexity’s Comet browser is redefining how users interact with the web by combining traditional browsing with AI-powered automation.
Unlike other AI tools that rely on static data or get blocked by websites, Comet navigates the internet like a human user—making it a powerful productivity companion for professionals and creators.
What Makes Comet Different?
Comet allows users to automate repetitive tasks using custom shortcuts and scheduled actions. By assigning prompts to shortcut commands (e.g., /update-sheet or /review-preview), users can trigger complex workflows with a single keystroke. These include:
- Updating Google Sheets from Asana: Comet fetches completed tasks and logs them into a spreadsheet, eliminating manual copy-paste routines.
- Organizing browser tabs: It groups tabs by topic, closes duplicates, and enables quick referencing using the @tab feature.
- Reviewing article previews: Comet checks grammar, verifies links, and compares content against style guides—acting as a second editor.
- Automating recurring tasks: From daily tech news digests to Amazon order adjustments, Comet handles scheduled actions without user intervention.
For users who spend most of their day in a browser, Comet offers a seamless way to automate workflows, reduce context switching, and save time. Its ability to interact with live websites and integrate with tools like Google Sheets, Asana, and Amazon makes it more versatile than traditional AI assistants.
Comet is currently available to Perplexity Max subscribers, select Pro users, and those invited from the waitlist. While setup requires some initial customization, the payoff is a browser that actively supports your daily routine—whether you’re managing content, tracking tasks, or staying informed.
