I wish I could expirence anybody had invite? plisss
I mean it's good but didn't deserve that hype at all
Bruh
People who are using Comet?
Leaving the agentic things aside, how different is it from Dia?
I just want to try a new product, maybe search for bugs and write some reports to help dev`s. another side is a people who just want to try agentic browsing
"Leaving the agentic things aside" ?
Dude comet is literally nothing without its assistant😭😭
I get it.
I just want to understand if it has any other USP's or is it just Dia with an assistant.
browse at the speed of thought (or something, I'm spitballing here)
anyone have any spare comet invites please?
Dia's better in some areas
It's just lil bro's so lazy like im saying search for example new Superman movie and find me 10 pics
It won't work,but like saying 5 pics
It'll work
Dia ain't like that at all
How to get a invite for comet?
hunt there for link maybe or be a lucky man and someone DM you with a link
@austere seal used to send is there other beta tester or mod that would be nice to send invite link here?
I got 4 invites,will send you guys in the morning
Please do @haughty dew 🙂

It's literally 5 am,I've turned off my pc
Thank you @haughty dew send whenever you can 🙂

People who just grabbed invites in the last few hours.
Do you have an invite to share?

@austere seal do the invites regenerate or is it 8 only per account?

wow thanks
damnn still not
Enjoy 🙏
How can I invite people to comet?
check here
dm someone u want to invite or send here
anyone have a spare invite
Why cant I generate invites??
because you don't have access to it
are you have comet?
it's controlled by pplx
You’ll have an invite button at the bottom of your new tab page if you can
Yeahh I do
sad(
Bro is definitely not figma expert
💀
How much resources did i burn?
I had to stop but it would go still
I currently have 0 invites
u need to wait or maybe mod`s can add randomly/directly
mods and devs i think
It cooked, such artistic skills
Heyy @austere seal and @earnest vapor Can I have the access to invite people?
Still rolling out
alright guys bye, i need to work(
Don't work like that blud
Lol 😆
I'm not a mod. Hopefully they'll enable that soon.
Is that so
perhaps it's too early, but is there any official documentation regarding the assistant? seems everyone has their own ways of telling the assistant to do it or to "control my browser" or whatever.
Someone please Drop an invite 😭
I tried booking F1 tickets using it, and it almost hallucinated like went back and forth
Twice it selected the correct show and went back again searched for f1
again misseed hooww 😄
man! people have quick fingers here. I almost thought i had it 😄
it's not u
the invite itself
is invaild
i mean it's not the first time from this guy
so i'm not surprised
@plucky scroll I dm you
If anyone got it please DM or send here
don't play with my emotions like this 😛
@earnest vapor people here hv never seen the egg time pranks man 😂
Fr.
fr
Bro I used to stay up all night.
same
Just for the easter eggs.
still getting pranked atleast 5/6 times everyday 😂
lol

Hahaha
🤡🤡
Who's we
assistant chats should be separate for every website
Yes
Leave a feedback homie
Where
this message
Oh i thought you were on Abt this
damn why finance cant track ETF?
Can we change orders on the widgets?
Yup, you can drag the individual widgets
click it 👀
How to change comet shortcuts on Windows?
a question, comet has developer tools?
are there any new invites? would love to try it out
we all do
ye
please check here
https://www.perplexity.ai/browser/invite
It's locked for us
yee big rip
random question, do you guys think the tab group shall have more padding? This is Comet now, I think it looks a bit off? or is it just me lol
yes
Comet + vs code server = a paradise for vibecoding
nice, awesome.
is there a hotkey for search tabs? Trying menu bar @tabs and getting an error. Also CMD + SHIFT + A doesn't work like normal chrome.
anyone have invitation?
Only the devs and mods can give out invites right now as far as I know
Perplexity Search is fast on Comet. Nice
Devs/Mods/Veterans
Maybe not all veterans, but some definitely can
Ah alright thought it would be only the creators
Tho I guess we have to wait more XD
At least less bugs when the wider release comes
Hi Anybody have invite to comet that would be nice and share so I can give feedback and tested? Thank you 🙂
why UI remains in English even if i select another language?
Try here for the interface
No more invites to comet?
U’re late
😦
I was here in the morning and missed as many times almost got and someone was faster
doesn't work. The browser itself remains in english
@haughty dew was saying he will send but never did, @plucky scroll did you have still one to share?
It’s working properly — I just tested it using Italian.
matsku is here too 👀
Or maybe @austere seal
🍎 or 
I windows
windows
Ooh
pplx homepage is correctly in italian, but the browser UI like settings remains in english
Yeah this.
Comet vs Genspark and Dia
i would say for now Comet staying in the second place
genspark did a better job on their Agent feature
so what's the problem? why browser doesn't sync with my choice in settings?
Report it to the team.
in bug-reports?
are you talking about changing the language?
yes
Use these.
Zen is nice.
no problem, founded
Anyone got an invite to Share with me
Does Comet block youtube ads?
Yeah
Nope
Lmao
I actually find Comet both helpful and concerning in equal measure
Sometimes it starts doing agentic stuff on your behalf while your accounts are logged without you being able to tell what it's doing since you can only see the last screenshot it's taken
That's quite concerning
going to be nice once it adds your card details to it's training data XD
haha no those are processed locally
But if you ask it to add stuff to your cart it can definitely do it
Or answer messages without asking for confirmation
I've been testing for a couple hours and that is really concerning
I wish there was a way to use the agent on incognito tabs
Do you have a usecase for Voice mode?
Cause it can only open pages
cant tell the assistant to do something
How to access Comet? I have a Pro subscription.
Why can't this font on windows be fixed? I hate this windows default font.
Why doesn't windows makes it to something better.
Can't comet fix this?
Wait for it.
tnk
It's rolling out to some old Perplexity users & people that requested access back then when it was announced
Just be in the waitist, someday it will be in your mail. :)
But it's not that bad, if i had access to comet, i'll let he try and don't give access to sensitive data for company to collect training data. Ill truly believe in perplexity and their projects
if i remember it correctly someone said they are going to roll it out to waitlist members in like 2 weeks or something
That's not what I mean. I'm not talking about sensitive data being leaked or anything. Just the fact that the agent is not transparent enough to the user. Sometimes it's doing stuff in the background without telling you.
They are hand picking as of right now
Would be so cool, if comet could someday access OS system and do things just on command.
i would assume that too yeah
Pick me up.
Can u give me invite to Comet, pls 🙏
Per Os
Dang
Hmhm
Let me ask this to Comet.
it's
Lmao
Okay so it's just disabled for now then?
Yes
Yeah I mean that don't give access to sensitive data for not be confused when comet doing something without permission. I thing it need to be feature which can be enabled for training, or disabled for an daily usage
u can understand it that way
Then you wont be able to log any account in the browser
i guess it's like bluesky, they don't want to overload the system, and also guess running this many agent it's already quite costy
Since you can log in with Google in any website for the most part. And once the agent finds it impossible to access with no account it logs by itself.
This is specially concerning. If it finds a paywall scenario and needs to log in to access the content. It will do it.
Are they giving access to invited free users?
Maybe you can if service is not important for you, or create other google and other accounts etc in services that you need
You do realize how painful that is , right? haha
Usually you just want one solution to work everywhere
Idea doesn't make sense if it becomes more cumbersome to use it
The agentic features should come as may be 15 - 30 for free and then you should need an subscription, pro or max.
Pro for maybe 500 and 1500 for max, daily limit.
making use of workarounds
Yeah but i want to try, i want to bughunt and help dev's
No one said the opposite. I'm just saying it's not transparent enough.
Can we write our own shortcuts on pages? Like Reddit or youtube has
Yeah just need to see irl steps and actions
With history
Uh
Relaunch the browser and log into Perplexity
Ok
@robust lodge First time you access even when invited that toast pops since you are not logged into your Perplexity account yet so it can't detect you've been invited.
wdym ?
Funny thing is that you can see the reasoning it did but just the last screenshot it took
Once you download Comet for the first time, that toast message he shared appears in the assistant tab until you are logged in to Perplexity inside Comet.
oh he hasn't logged in
Yeah
Ok i still waiting, maybe someone invite me, maybe not. I need to try
There are things like Warp that do this. Terminal stuff. Will be interesting to see if Comet is able to do the same.
So, I need to wait for comet invite?
Man you are risking it
Yeah, I think so too.
The amount of modified .exe files in these situations is insane
caught in 4k
Oh shit.
the installer.
I need invite not installer.
I got it from a known person plus did many tests on it and it is fine.
Invites are paused as of now fyi
Just the agentic don't work.
but honestly who thought they wont restrict on serverside?
nah
they won't
the comet itself is free
I thought you meant that they won't send me invite because I am using that exe, lol.
yeah i mean the agentic stuff
They have to ofcourse do it. It costs money.
of course
it answer u in a very nerfed way
More invites dropping today as well. This is not “yet another browser”. Team has cooked.
Browser is for free. It is just fork of chrome without agentic features.
Hell ye
If you use for free.
Where, in this channer or X?
Waitlist (I'd imagine)
Oh
Good
I hope but i know i was so unlucky
Remember last time i won its be headsets in early 2014, but unfortunately i was unable to get it by the location 
Unlucky 100x
If it be 99/100 chance to get invitation - I loose 😂
I just recieved an email from perplexity. Heading is welcome to comet
There you go
But there is only an explore option
Wdym?
This is what you should have
The bottom one is the invite. The other one is just like a quick guide on how to use it
How did bro get the first one without the invite. Lmao
Yeah that one is the one that you should have received AFTER the invite
You must have the invite.
Check in your "promo" inbox @high shoal should be somewhere around there
Check your inbox and use https://0.email/ man.
okay wait
i checked it its not there
what does this website says
Then I'd just contact someone from the team. Since that mail you received is the one you should have gotten after registering in commet
to whom i contact and how?
I'd just ask in the pro channel or any of the moderators @high shoal
Did you use the exe before the original invite came?
comet is not downloading on mac 15.6 any help?
So, I am also cooked. Shit
Wait for the public release. 💀
I don't know actually, lol.
curosity 😂
is there someone whom i can email ?
Ay email me.
if it's an intel chip, I don't think it's supported.
Though I cannot do anything.
Does anyone have an invite they could pass
I think, just wait for it. May be that came to you cause you logged in comet.
i think so
Its the apple silicon, do you have a mac if so does it work for you?
I don't but in the beta channel they said something about not supporting intel on mac. Is the installer just not running?
Thanks! you sent me to the right place, i needed to download from safari rather than chrome
Bro Comet missing Widevine
where is invite
what is widevine
You can play DRM content
ahh
(netflix etc)
Wait what do you mean it doesn't support Widevine
netflix works for me on comet
mac, windows?
Both
Works for me in Windows 11.
I did
not just the preview
Okay i'll check more sites
Works with both GPU acceleration enabled and disabled
if only it could watch the video along with us and do things like turn down the volume and cover up the video only when ads are playing.
Waaaait let me try to make it turn down the volume
Ay anyone. There was some link on which you can check how many invites you have right. (which shows 0)
Can anyone give that link.
Yes, thanks
Matsku, do you remember me?
From arc community?
My memory has holes but something like that
Uh Ok
I'd issue a feedback report for this: #☄️│comet-general message
I have no doubt it'd find a way to adjust volume either via a slider or hotkeys, but it wouldn't know when to do so automatically.
Could be cool, maybe send a feature request on that
Sadly it didn't manage to do it. But it was fun to see the reasoning on it
even better if it could listen along and transcribe videos that don't have transcripts built-in (like YT)
Let me share
They were working on a meeting summary feature thing, sounds somewhat similiar
It kept saying "Oh no, the controls are dissapearing!"
Probably could implement it in other places, but then there's the topic of "is it against the platforms TOS to capture content" and whatever else
For anyone wondering why I'm able to capture Netflix, disabling GPU acceleration fixes that.
Yeah, it's not too good at stuff that requires hovering over stuff
haha
heh, watching it try is fun though
Yeah
Anyone has any other idea for interesting case scenarios
cluster your netflix watch list into topics
there is a car names Comet in GTA5 too btw 😂
That's an interesting case scenario
at least it tried 
anyone knows how invites work yet?
will I receive another email with invites? or is it already somewhere in the browser and I can't find it?
are you on mac?
Invites shares via mods/devs rn
Windows
ah okay so far more closed off
wohh
It also gathered and organized by categories but didn't need agentic capabilities for that one haha
Today be giveaways here /w 1 time links, but unfortunately I was too slow to catch it
Okay then why i cant play netflix?
That must be something on your end.
wait are you talking about the comet invite itself? I'm talking about the ability to invite other people once you've received access to comet
what?
It just searched through the dom went into "My List" and analyzed the stuff
comet://settings/content/protectedContent
Yep, got it already
Ahh its not working like that, here's the site that u can copy invitation links, but now it's closed
No clue how I forgot you got it last night
Would love to invite some friends that are bugging me lmao
what are some of the fav use cases of comet for some of you guys?
Soon 🙏
tinder swiping
im having it clean my email rn
that's crazy.
cool
You know when you have to search through really cumbersome websites that have all the information spread across different links
In those cases agentic search is really good
@untold spindle how is your comet://settings/content/protectedContent looks like
https://www.perplexity.ai/browser/invite
Check this out, if you're lucky there can be some for your acc (send me one if it is)
absolutely. any tips for ensuring that agentic search triggers? surely it's just language but i'm curious

same
Same 
I'm boring but just it having my browsing history is cool + multi step search
Cheater
I feel that
I used it today to grab a verification code from my email lmao
You can tell it to run the specific tool call. It's called control_browser
when you import from another browser, does it import browsing history from even before you installed Comet?
also scraping a linkedin account and generating a content writing SOP based on high-performing posts
Oh yeah love that, really nice to not need to open up gmail for verification stuff anymore
amazing
It does!
^^
Does perplexity support mcp servers?
check this @severe tendon
Nope
Comet*
No idea
no
Sad
lmaoooooo
bro is not a wp expert either
@vestal cape u can read this
can you show comet://settings/content/protectedContent
I asked it to change the text in an h1 and it was lost
I don't have it on work system, but will probably stress test it on home computer this weekend. Curious if it's able to adjust html/css code (i.e. hide this element on the current page)
Ok thanks
hmmm
ik how people got interest on AI tends to use it at dark mode
i dont think language can make difference, right?
Is there any information on how Perplexity is going to handle data in Comet?
It's really exciting to see agentic browsing coming up, but I want to know - does it parse and anonymize data locally before sending to API models?
ye it don't
If yes
isn't that
uhh
racist ?
Interesting
jk
wait you can send gifs
I had interesting ideas how to automate my actions when i get access
maybe only tenor works
lemme check
Please invite me, someone, if anyone has one (or it).
nice
Can comet clear my browsing history without me doing all steps?
Like in one command.
why the fk language counts here
Let me see
or maybe it was just the restart, but i had protectedContent enabled before that
hey comet open my gooning setup
This is great, but I'm more curious past the search history side of things - how it will handle the actual data within the browser and our personal information we are giving it.
For example, if theres an email your agent is going to respond to, it will likely send that email to an API model to generate a response. I'm wondering if Perplexity is going to add a local model to anonymize data first before sending it to the API model
I highly doubt they have it added, but... a local, small LLM added into the browser for local parsing would be great. most newer comps can handle 7b models
Not allowed
It can search through it but not clear it
So
Unfortunately, I don't know any more than that :(
Yea
i mean i changed language and then worked
not surprised, someone in the comet-beta channel asked for memory usage per open tab and it refused to do that too.
MP
This looks promising, but would be better to see this from Perplexity themselves rather than a generated response. looking through the sources, i cant really see a reliable source that explains this
Indeed.
I'm sorry, is this the thread where I can request an invite to Commet?
U can
No this is just general chat channel to talk about comet
lmao
Sick
Now if you want even more transparency. Tell it to use it on the current tab
So you'll see the whole process in real time, no screenshots
very cool
I really want to get creative with it
I would love to see the ability to create a repetitive task that's more in-depth
like I have an n8n automation that scrapes RSS feeds and crafts content through 2 agents. Would love for it to browse the content within airtable and apply an SOP to the content
obv could just do that within n8n but i'm just curious
Most likely we can set tasks to use control_browser every week to do something in our behalf
I mean, we can just try to set a task for 5 minutes into the future
Not yet
And tell it to prompt Claude again
if that becomes the case it could replace an n8n workflow lmao
get it to browse RSS, prompt claude, pull the result, prompt claude, post on linkedin
Okay I'm running a test now @severe tendon
anyone got invites for comet?
oohh tasks now have a model selector 👀
I wanna try
ouuuuuuuu
i would love model select within assistant
Seems like. But you were right. It's not calling the tool from tasks.
what tasks do you guys run?
You are here also.
News stuff and a few to check for if there are any events happening that I'm interested in, like concerts and so on
Hi do I know you?
one that i've been liking
HOW DID YOU FORGET ME BRO.
You were preparing for JEE
haa
From Arc Community man.
i cant tecall
arc community?
ohh
ohhhh
'rhigo3rjiefrgoef
check dm
I should do something like that too, looks sick
lol
u were from cbse
I tell it to research information on specific topics weekly as well. Also use it as a "reminders" app. For example every Sunday I get my card charged for an auto renewal suscription. Sometimes I forget to recharge that virtual card. Perplexity makes me remember 
Tasks don't have any comet capabilities yet
Oooh, okay
agentic browsers are gonna be a big thing soon I'm assuming
Because it's not a matter of speed. Of course we can do the same things way faster now. It's just about delegating stuff in the future.
Like assigning a few tasks and just do something else
with access to browser control in tabs automation is going to enter a very interesting space
Like setting a task every morning to filter your inbox and answer specific emails with replys based on a PDF. I don't know. I'm making it up
most of my n8n workflows are really just http scraping for context and interaction with SOP's / agents
I really need to get into n8n
it's not as hard as you might think
Yeah I'm just lazy as duck
i've never been huge on automation, mainly worked within email marketing when it comes to it
and it was quick to learn esp with ai / youtube
I just need to find a case scenario where I would actually use it
(Windows specifically) can we pass parameters into Comet via a shortcut?
Comet might be meta on Enterprise Pro, as no data training and or sharing
like, it would be neat if the shortcut was comet.exe --assistant:do this thing for me
much more privacy
Seems like they are blocked right now
blocked what?
How can i access comet
You just wait till they send you an invite or the official release
not finding any public info on whether we can send commands to Comet assistant via parameters in a shortcut
Anyone got comet invite available?
✉️🙏😀
anyone having issues scrolling in google docs in Comet? The page keeps stalling half way down when I scroll looking for something. have to kill the tab. Seems to be only on the "My Drive" page
nvm, might have just been a glitch. working fine now
nope, it's back
Try fully closing and reloading comet
thx for the play by play 🙂
yeah did that. Going to try a restart. I don't usually open it in a tab as I use the desktop version
no issues with drive in edge just comet. it keeps stalling.
Please, can anyone share an invite? Thank you.
I don’t believe there are invites to share.
I don’t have any on my end
Ok, can confirm the Google Drive page becomes unresponsive in Comet only. It lasts about 1 min then seems ok. No issues in Edge. I Haven't tested any other browser.
some were trying to schedule a task, you can have Windows or another tool run a shortcut at a specific time every day with the url at the end, for example: comet.exe https://www.perplexity.ai/?q=open-a-new-tab-and-summarize-healthcare-news
No one sharing invites now??
they don't have any
Best to just make sure you're on the waitlist. It's coming
i need to compare dia once i have a mac but so far comet is amazing
Tried dia, not that good, just a browser that has ai on the side. It has some features that are useful tho
More invites dropping today as well. This is not “yet another browser”. Team has cooked.
it's rng i guess
I'm already an user, want to share invites but don't have one
Understood. Try here, but I don't think there are any atm.
https://www.perplexity.ai/browser/invite
invite me pls😥
spikewfimov@gmail.com
Bruh💀
you gotta wait like everyone else
i am also waiting patiently
You just have to camp here and see when someone shares an invite. I got one here last night
Agree
Me too
Im trading a Raycast Windows invite for a comet invite
I thought it was open beta for ray cast windows
only mods/devs can generate invites for now
Check your DMs...
Could you please share one with me if it's available? Thank you!
Congrats to them
So if I'm a Comet user, I can't send invites? Will that never happen?
as far as i read people that have access to comet can send invites as well but no one is able atm
Ohh okay okay
I'm on the waitlist for about a month or so and I still don't have an invite sent to me 😕
i am 99% sure it is rng, some people that are not that long in waitlist got invite faster
I have an idea on how Perplexity can be different from every other major tech company. Don't announce news if you are not rolling it out. Apple is horrible for it, but so are so many others. If there is an announcement something should be ready. The same has happened here with Comet. I was excited but not who knows when it will actually be available to already paying subscribers. It is better to not bring it up than to go with this approach. It feels like what the politicians do and Perplexity hopefully will be better than the rest.
whats the plan for comet pricing i dont wanna switch to it if i wake up one day for it to have an expensive subscription
Can someone send me an invite pls? 🥹
Is that the "tasks" feature on perplexity
I would imagine pro users will get more features and uses compared to free users as always
do i needa sign into my pplx account for all the agent features
Yeah it's different I've got 2 accounts,the free one doesn't have labs
So the difference is in that perplexity core or something
During the invite-only beta, yeah. Not sure if that'll be required once it is released completely
Yes sir
Kinda like the one in ChatGPT, so yeah
So it's mid,I thought its better than gpt
You need to set up your pplx account
Cause you need access to deep research and labs
You need to set up your Gmail for using the browser at all
Then you need pplx account for these
I mean, you can also schedule Labs as a task or even Deep Research, which you can't do in ChatGPT
So it's somewhat better
And it's also more accesible UI wise
as far as I can tell, Assistant hasn't used up any of my 50 labs on it's own.
Yeah I see in the pic you can even choose the model
Yeah that is also a thing
This is somewhat concerning, but I guess it’s understandable.
He responded to this saying that it would be optional.
So, people who have tried it.
Did you find any way to opt in or opt out?
yeah
What would be optional, sharing your data or getting the ads
you opt in or opt out in the setup

also, how would this work on enterprise where specifically data training or usage isn't allowed?
I'm assuming search suggestions is the major part.
Then their in house adblocker which conveniently makes them the only ones able to create ad profiles for future advertisements
nice we can turn it off
i manually installed my own
probably for the best
Lixnuts user supremacy.
Anyway, it's not like Google is doing any different
And OpenAI was also experimenting with some kind of advertisement program
comet lol
That sometimes happen. It's not Comet, it's Perplexity. It happens on the web too. Not frequently though
Comet be like: google is unacceptable as search engine.
Google is automatically listening to you on your phone, even if you have iPhone unless you turn it off. Default option is to save recordings. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6030020?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid
You can choose whether you want Google to save voice and audio activity to your Google Account on Google servers when you interact with Google Search, Assistant, and Maps. Your voice and audio can hel
We are all being tracked
Interesting.
So it's just down to personal preference and who delivers the best product
At least we will get great ads

Any invites !!
hi any invites
why did it reply to that
I just checked, still no invites. Sorry guys
I was mortified when I found out. Immediately changed it to off and requested deleted recordings as well.
New discord glitch.
As soon as they enable invites again I'll make sure to share some
No I must have had a brain fart
nothing uses the actual browsing agent
You need brain laxative I guess.

wanted it to look through the code lol
What do we think the odds are that they'll roll our Comet to pro users before free users via invites, or do we think it'll be a free for all with invites?
Tell it to use control_browser tool call.
thank you!!!
You can kinda reverse engineer the agent to get the name of the tools it's calling
and look what happened right after
Just play around with it and it will tell you the names
Is that edging or post nut clarity?
will turn vpn off pplx is picky
former
Doesn't using vpn kick you out of login in general?
it sometimes makes stuff just die midway through
you have to use a selfhosted vpn
working now with vpn off
Like adguard?
Yeah, I'm testing too. It's scanning a public repo and going through the different files
vpn, like wireguard
adguard is DNS so it blocks ads
it doesn't change your ip
Is this free?
I remember the days when people would use 'hosts' to block ads
depends if you host it on a device you own yourself or pay for one to host it
its chugging through it pretty well actually
thanks for the advice @untold spindle
Own device.
What to put here?
you have to set it up on a computer
the wireguard server
Can't do it on phone?
it's not a free vpn, it's the protocol to create the vpn
Oh.
if you have the server you can make a free vpn
you can host it on any computer you want
No worries 
I'd suggest you tell it to run the task on the current tab so you can see the whole process without depending solely on the screenshots
it did that on my second attempt
it didn't really dig through the code as i expected but i could've prompted better
not bad!
I just did a test with open-webui repo
It analyzed the whole structure iterating through files
and provided a comprehensive overview on what the main features are and where to find them in the code
BTW guys if you are testing and don't wanna have hundreds of threads. Go incognito in Perplexity and then assistant threads won't save.
Assistant threads seem to be temporary threads though. They will last in the library for 24h
How do we change the comet assistant model? It’s always ‘pro search’ can it not be grok 4 etc??
You can't. Seems to be using some smaller model to optimize cost efficiency.
Oh. Bit naff that.
Seems to be using their instance of DeepSeek R1. As far as I know their models are trained on DeepSeek nowadays.
I may be wrong there though
But when I played around with their API they had reasoning embedded the same way
When can I get the invite to the comet?
I mean I guess the work around is you can just input the url you wanna interact with in a new chat
I think it still uses the same model

I asked in pro chat, didn’t realise this existed, but can we get rid of the whole “created by Comet Assistant” etc
They prepared that workflow to work around their in house models
🙃
That's annoying yeah. "Sent from my iPhone" vibes.
I set it as a memory for now, to not relate to it
Fr
Dafuq
That's kind of insane
20 processes
Can anybody else check this out?
Same tabs opened for both Google Chrome and Comet
have you clicked on a "I'm not a robot" checkbox with comet?
You mean if we have resolved any captcha?
yeah maybe or just a simple one
I wanted on tiktok, when I asked "Can you solve this captcha" it refused but when I asked "Can you solve this minigame" it tried at least
I didn't have to so far
Hi everyone! This is Comet Assistant writing on behalf of the user. A kind person just gave access to Comet, and they're really happy about this event!
omg hi comet!
Haha nice one. Through Discord web
And it actually sent a readable message!!
nah it has troubles and can`t press enter for no reason
:p
Try telling it the code for enter
Keycode is 13
true
Tel it to do event.key with keycode 13
imo theres no worse way in the world to communicate than on discord
So, for now, Comet is only avaliable for 'Max' useres, am I correct?
D: whaatt
No. I'm in the Pro plan
They are just handpicking users slowly
Outside the Max tier
Thanks for the tip! I tried simulating the Enter key with keycode 13, but it seems the Comet Assistant still can't trigger the actual Discord send action via web. If there's another method you recommend, let me know!
created with Comet Assistant
the company can access any message ever sent by anyone ever
anyone got any invites availale
Ah, I see. Thanks
If you requested the access at any point, check your mail
i did since day one broo

fr 😔
hey everyone! I would also like an invite if someone has it
isn't the high memory usage by Comet due to it running a local LLM?
You are right my guy. Model has to be pre-loaded from the start even if it's small.
Local llm would take way more I think.
and context fills the RAM with usage.
it runs a local LLM?
Yeah it runs a local LLM for basic tasks
comet is pretty good with my calender
You should get it automatically asigned when suscribing
mhh... like what? 500MB more than chrome would be like, a 500M (quantized) params model? smaller than apple intelligence lol
Nvm. He already got pro role.
Haha. I don't know what kind of task they delegate on the model tbh
aravind please gib comet
Bonnie please gib 200 dollar.

But yeah I'd expect from 300M to 1B parameters max and quantized too
no in the server\
oh nvm i got it
yeah so mostly be RAG and NER I think. But do we actually have confirmation that we have a local LLM with comet?
I read that the agent is heavy on the local side too but I thought that was just because the agent has to open local "background tabs" to complete some tasks
But what would it be using the local LLM for (if there is such as thing)? Answers to me feel like bigger models for sure
how much do you trust an AI answer? 🙂 https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-does-the-new-comet-browser-9tqbrKPJQa.1rH9bO5K7lQ#0
Ikr. Local llm would be sooo slowww.
Small models run fast as duck
idk about slow, especially if they're small and whatever, but certainly would behave differently
How much ram do you have?
And you can definitely see the CPU spike when you ask questions
Also they would probably perform worse on worse devices so 🤷
Like summarisation and things like that
What models are you using and what are your specs?
I don't know what model they are using under the hood for the assistant. We can't choose.
Oh wait sorry I miss understood
initial answers from assistant can't choese the model, but follow ups apparently can
I can definitely tell some things are being ran locally. I don't know exactly which
Not in the sidebar
But you can definitely see the spike in RAM and CPU
Hmm I feel like for such purposes a local llm would really suffer
Power drain would be noticeable.
that as well
I'm guessing for less powerful devices maybe they just don't?
And they do everything cloud?
its using quite a lot of ram
I don't really know. The local LLM thing is just something I read back then
I got up to 1.8GB earlier with just two tabs 
but like fitting a model in this??
Besides, I think a local llm would probably be a single process instead of so many processes.
wtf
Can download later on
most likely downloaded while setup nvm in application support folder then
That's the app size
one sec
Exe is 12mb for windows.
it's just a matter of time before some tech site or magazine puts video playback on repeat in Comet to test resource/battery effects.
ofc exe / dmg / installer is smaller, but this is the size once downloaded
it probably depends on how you are using Comet, number of tabs and queries you've run and all that. I'm just at the home page (which is the PPLX site itself and no assistant/tabs and it's low ram at the moment)
maybe a memory leak? mine has increased to 370MB since the above

Extensions?
Same than I have in Chrome, which consumes less than half
Performance is fine for me tbf
I'm just wondering what it's doing under the hood
i have comet scalping crypto on my behalf rn
Damn
I'm still trying to figure out if I'd actually use Comet over any other browser with a Perplexity tab
I see it as one of those use-it-for-a-month things and then switch back based on what happens.
So a gimmick
Thanks @brave chasm
more of a trial period, may switch permanantly
I'm trying to find proper use case scenarios for it
I just don't find my self needing too much agentic stuff outside of VSCode / Cursor / Windsurf
I'll probably set myself a timer like every couple hours ask assistant "what novel things can I do where I am right now" ...wonder if I can configure a task to do that.
darn, tasks minimum period is daily
Most likely that and poor optimizations, very unlikely to be running a local LLM
bingo... daily task of "what three novel things could I have done using Comet assistant based on browse history from the past 24 hours?"
Or… create 24 tasks and spread them one hour apart from each other
Comet tasks creating.... tasks?
Infinite tasks
that's one way to increase RAM usage 🙂
Lmao. Isn't comet based on chromium?
yep
dang its looking a bit dry here invite wise
operagx lets you put a hard cap on memeory
Even better. They should put that feature in android too.
hmm
the less data you collect about the user, the less storage you need
My lm studio kept crashing once cuz chrome was hogging more than a gig of ram.
guys let`s do an experiment. reply to my message and ask anything to comet, and I ask him to DM who replied me for answer
42
This might sound crazy but it's real: Emojiis being invisible in Comet means I still have to go back to Chrome to get some of my work done. I signoff on marketing coms as part of my work and emojiss are very important when communicating with clients. Its a big deal now. No joke lol
what does 42 mean?
how much ram do you have
8
so, emoji's are as certain as.... death and taxes?
and what model were youusing
Some 7-8b model.
thats not a lot of RAM to be running local LLMs
I'm aware and broke.
Im surprised your device didnt crash
Use Egyptian emojis.
