Shown·Partial·Perplexity Comet
Browser assistant for daily tasks
Perplexity Comet sent an email, set a calendar reminder, wrote a Google Drive post, and summarised a YouTube video.
In a 4-hour test, it completed each task on its own, and the author says the email feature saves about 30 minutes a day.
Overview
How it was set up
Install the Comet browser from perplexity.ai, import Chrome bookmarks, and connect Gmail so it can reach email, calendar and Google Drive.
Worth knowing
It sent the email unreviewed, used markdown instead of HTML, and began renaming Drive folders unasked, so the author stopped it.
A prompt to start from
Write an email about [topic] and send it to [address]. Use HTML formatting.
