PerplexityPerplexity has announced that its Computer feature can now take full control of Comet to complete tasks. According to the company’s LinkedIn post, Computer launches a browser agent inside Comet that can interact with websites and logged-in apps when the user grants permission.
Key details from the announcement:
- Computer can now operate directly within Perplexity’s Comet environment.
- The browser agent can access any site or logged-in app with user permission.
- Perplexity says this works without requiring connectors or MCPs.
- The feature is available to all Computer users on Comet.
This suggests Perplexity is expanding Comet from a research and browsing experience into a more active task-completion environment. By removing the need for separate connectors, the setup may be simpler for users who want automation across web tools they already use.
For small business owners and builders, this could make it easier to delegate repetitive browser-based tasks without stitching together separate integrations. It also points to a broader shift toward AI agents that can act inside everyday software environments, not just answer questions.
