Perplexity is steadily refining its Comet browser, aiming to create an AI agent that’s both autonomous and visually savvy. The latest update brings a handy new feature: the ability to capture screenshots of the webpages the agent explores. Now, you can quickly verify its navigation and actions through clear image snapshots available directly in your task list.
If you’ve ever struggled to confirm that an automated process is working as it should, this visual approach might just do the trick. It moves beyond plain text confirmations, making it easier to inspect complex user interfaces, detailed reports, or even unstructured content. This practical step not only enhances transparency but also simplifies the debugging process.
In addition, Perplexity is rolling out plans to integrate Outlook support for Windows desktop users. Along with its existing connections to Gmail and Google Calendar, this update could extend automation capabilities across more business applications, aligning perfectly with the anticipated Windows launch of Comet.
Looking ahead, the Android version of Comet is set to debut this fall, bringing mobile automation into the picture. In essence, Perplexity is crafting a versatile, cross-platform agent that can handle tasks across different devices and accounts, making it a solid choice for anyone looking to boost productivity.
