What It Does
Comet is an AI browser made by Perplexity, and Comet Assistant is a personal agent in its side panel that answers questions and performs tasks directly on websites. It summarizes, translates, and extracts information from the current tab or tabs specified with @, and handles multi-step tasks across tabs. If a request would be better executed directly in the browser, it asks the user first.

- Find LinkedIn job postings matching your criteria
- Enter data across multiple tabs, such as filling spreadsheets

What We Have Not Yet Confirmed
- The pricing table's column divisions could not be verified to determine exactly which plans (free·Pro·Max) correspond to 'Comet Agent: Limited / 10x'
- Official pages did not confirm free users' usage limits for Comet Assistant agent actions (website interaction)
- South Korean won and Japanese yen prices could not be confirmed (only US dollar prices confirmed)
- Exact publication dates for 'The New Comet Assistant' and the worldwide free release blog could not be confirmed in the page bodies
- Normal access to the Perplexity site was blocked (403), so official page bodies were read through a reader proxy (r.jina.ai)
