PerplexityPerplexity has announced a set of upgrades to its Comet Assistant, focused on improving how the browser-based assistant handles longer, more complex tasks. According to the company, the update boosts overall performance and helps Comet complete multi-step workflows more reliably across multiple browser tabs.
Key updates include:
- Multi-tab and multi-site workflows: Comet can now work across several tabs in parallel, allowing it to manage more complex browser-based tasks.
- Performance gains: Perplexity says internal testing showed a 23% improvement in performance, with better accuracy and higher completion rates on longer jobs.
- Updated permission flow: Comet Assistant will now ask for approval before taking actions in the browser, then remember that preference during the session.
- Focus on outcomes: The company says these changes are intended to improve both response quality and task completion success.
For small business owners and builders, this matters because browser-based AI assistants are becoming more useful for repetitive online workflows, research, and operational tasks. Better reliability and clearer permission controls could make tools like Comet more practical for day-to-day business use.
