Introduction [0:00]
The video introduces the Comet browser by Perplexity, an AI-enhanced browser that distinguishes itself from traditional browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Access to Comet requires an invitation or a Perplexity Max plan. The speaker received an invitation from a friend and has been using the browser for a few days, finding it powerful and impressive. The video will cover the top 10 use cases of the Comet browser, demonstrating how its AI capabilities can be used in everyday life.
Automatic Adding of Items in Cart while Shopping [1:05]
The Comet browser can automate the process of adding items to a shopping cart. By inputting a list of groceries, such as tomatoes, milk, cheese, bread, chicken, and chips, along with login details, the browser uses AI to log in to the website and search for each item. It then adds the specified quantities to the cart, automating a significant portion of the shopping process. The user only needs to review the cart and complete the payment.
Curating Purchase of item [3:11]
The Comet browser can assist in curating a list of components for building a gaming PC. By inputting a request for the best PC gaming parts, including processors, GPUs, and RAM, the AI assistant searches for and selects suitable components. The browser then adds these components to a shopping cart, providing a convenient way to gather all the necessary parts for a gaming PC setup.
Get Tabs Summary [4:54]
The Comet browser can summarize the content of all open tabs. By typing a command, the browser queries each open tab and provides a list of the items or topics covered in those tabs. This feature allows users to quickly understand what is open without manually reviewing each tab. The AI assistant can also search browser history to retrieve information from previously opened pages.
AI powered Tab Grouping [6:01]
The Comet browser can automatically group similar tabs together. Instead of manually organizing tabs, users can ask the browser to group similar tabs, such as those related to news, entertainment, or specific projects. The browser intelligently identifies and groups these tabs, making it easier to manage and navigate multiple open pages. Users can also undo the groupings if desired, reverting to the original tab arrangement.
Shortcuts for AI Assistant [7:27]
The Comet browser allows users to create custom shortcuts for various actions. These shortcuts, similar to prompts, can be used to evaluate deals, summarize pages, or prepare for meetings. Users can create their own shortcuts to perform specific tasks, such as summarizing a page or video. For example, the "/evaluate this deal" shortcut analyzes the current page to determine if the price of a product matches other websites, providing a summary of price comparisons.
Search YT video for specific element [9:55]
The Comet browser can search for specific elements or parts within YouTube videos. By asking the AI assistant to find a YouTube video where a particular topic or person is mentioned, the browser can identify relevant videos. For example, the browser can search for videos where Andrew Carati discusses Tom Cruise movies, even with misspellings. The browser then provides links to the relevant videos or pages where the topic is discussed.
Tasks [11:59]
The Comet browser allows users to create tasks or alerts for specific information. By setting up a task in the browser's preferences, users can receive daily updates on the availability of certain products or information. For example, a user can create a task to check for the availability of an Apple M4 Max with 128GB or higher in the New Zealand Apple Refurbish store and receive a daily email with the results.
Page Summarization [12:53]
The Comet browser can summarize the content of a web page. By using the "summarize this page" command, the browser analyzes the page and provides a summary of the main points. This feature is similar to those available in other browsers like Chrome and Safari but is integrated directly into the Comet browser. The summary includes key information from each news article or section on the page, allowing users to quickly grasp the content without reading the entire page.
Video Summarization [14:04]
The Comet browser can summarize the content of a video. By using the "summarize this video" command, the browser analyzes the video and provides a summary of the main points discussed. This feature allows users to quickly understand the content of a video without watching the entire duration. The browser's inferencing time is noted to be faster compared to other methods, such as using Google Gemini.
Widgets [15:22]
The Comet browser includes a widget feature that sets it apart from other browsers. Users can add and customize widgets to display various information, similar to the widgets on MacBook Pros. These widgets can provide quick access to information such as the time, stock market details, and other live data. The widgets are interactive and provide real-time updates, making it easy to track information in one place.
