Perplexity Computer uses Comet to kick off workflows in your local browser. We asked it to compare Nano Banana vs Midjourney. Computer: → Opened 5 tabs at once → Ran 5 image gen tasks in parallel → Downloaded and cropped every output → Built a side-by-side comparison deck

That’s not a browser, that’s a full time employee with zero complaints.

Perplexity Computer + Comet cooking full workflows in-browser? Insane Opened tabs, ran parallel gens, cropped + built the deck automatically. This is the future of AI agents.

perplexity is killing it but pity the credits are too expensive

It's probably cheaper if you go on comet and run the same prompt.

it didn't ask for clarification. it didn't freeze. it didn't open spotify by accident. it just worked. genuinely suspicious behavior from software

i dont understand the Computer running on Comet 'hype' when you can just ask Comet to run itself. What's the added value of Computer?

this is why the "delegated workforce" framing keeps winning it's not one AI doing one thing faster, it's parallel execution across multiple tasks simultaneously

A task that costs more money than doing it manually... this credit system is way too expensive. Some tasks will be worth it; this one certainly isn't

And costs 100 USD in credits for that? Over and above the 200 USD max subscription? My intern would take 200 USD a month and run 100s of such tests! Perplexity computer doesn't do anything to justify Credit costs You give me Personal Computer with a 200 USD sub and credit as my mac mini handles everything else, then we're talking!

this is what happens when you focus on actually being useful instead of winning on social media. computer just works

Hi I have a question. For added credits, apparently they expire after 1 year of inactivity. Can you define inactivity?

Local browser control means no API limits, no rate-gating, no vendor lock-in. You're controlling your own execution layer.

5 tabs at once running parallel tasks then auto-building a deck lol. that's the kind of speed that makes manual comparison look like the stone age

Claude is capable of doing tasks that you would otherwise hire contractors to do for half the price. While providing accurate information of usage, limits, and they don't degrade paying customers. CRAZY!

comet kicking off browser workflows while perplexity computer handles the orchestration smh. nano banana vs midjourney comparison built automatically? that's the speed advantage nobody's talking about

I want to try if computer can make good slides with a predetermined template. Maybe that really is the killer everyday use.

Impressive workflow! Love how efficiently it multitasks. The side-by-side comparison feature is especially neat. Can't wait to see more innovative uses from you all!

Hermes just made its in-app browser a whole lot more useful. You can now keep multiple browser tabs open inside Hermes Desktop instead of every new page replacing the one you were already using. And that matters more than it sounds. Because this is not just about “having tabs.” It means Hermes can work across multiple pages without forcing you to keep losing your place every time you open the next thing. Research one source, keep it open, open another tab, compare them side by side, and keep moving. Check a few products before buying something. Look at multiple hotel or travel options at once. Keep a YouTube tutorial open in one tab while Hermes looks through docs or another page in the next. And because this lives inside Hermes Desktop, you are not limited to one basic browser view either. You can keep multiple tabs open. You can view two pages side by side. You can stack them top and bottom. You can even run a four-panel view when you want several pages open at once. So the browser inside Hermes is starting to feel a lot more like a real workspace instead of one page you keep replacing. There is also some nice polish that comes with it. Browser tabs now label themselves based on the page, and the address bar behaves more cleanly while pages are loading. And remember, this is the same in-app browser Hermes can already read, click through, type in, scroll, and annotate. So this is not just a prettier browser. It is a more capable workspace for the browser Hermes is actually using. If Hermes is going to do more of your work on the web, this is exactly the kind of browser upgrade it needed.

Our first short course with Anthropic! Building Towards Computer Use with Anthropic. This teaches you to build an LLM-based agent that uses a computer interface by generating mouse clicks and keystrokes. Computer Use is an important, emerging capability for LLMs that will let AI agents do many more tasks than were possible before, since it lets them interact with interfaces designed for humans to use, rather than only tools that provide explicit API access. I hope you will enjoy learning about it! This course is taught by Anthropic's Head of Curriculum, Colt_Steele. You'll learn to apply image reasoning and tool use to "use" a computer as follows: a model processes an image of the screen, analyzes it to understand what's going on, and navigates the computer via mouse clicks and keystrokes. This course goes through the key building blocks, and culminates in a demo of an AI assistant that uses a web browser to search for a research paper, downloads the PDF, and finally summarizes the paper for you. In detail, you’ll: - Learn about Anthropic's family of models, when to use which one, and make API requests to Claude - Use multi-modal prompts that combine text and image content blocks, and also work with streaming responses - Improve your prompting by using prompt templates, using XML to structure prompts, and providing examples - Implement prompt caching to reduce cost and latency - Apply tool-use to build a chatbot that can call different tools to respond to queries - See all these building blocks come together in Computer Use demo Please sign up here:

🚨PERPLEXITY JUST LAUNCHED SOMETHING THAT MAKES EVERY OTHER AI PRODUCT LOOK LIKE A TOY.. AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT.. They built a Personal Computer.. Not an app.. Not a chatbot.. A full digital worker that runs 24/7 on a Mac mini even while you sleep.. You press both command keys.. And it wakes up.. Ready to work.. But here's where it gets insane.. This thing doesn't run on one AI model.. It runs on 19 of them.. At the same time.. It uses Claude Opus for complex reasoning.. Gemini 3.1 Pro for deep research with a 2 million token context window.. Nano Banana Pro for 4K images.. Grok for fast tasks.. It doesn't just pick one model and hope for the best.. It reads your task.. Breaks it into subtasks.. And routes each one to whichever model is best at that specific thing.. All running in parallel.. While ChatGPT is still thinking about your first question.. Perplexity has already split your project into 6 pieces and assigned each one to a different AI.. And here's the part that should worry OpenAI.. Perplexity hallucinates at 3.3%.. ChatGPT hallucinates at 12%.. Claude at 15%.. It's not even close.. Because Perplexity is built differently.. Every other AI tries to remember facts.. Perplexity searches for them first.. It's structurally forced to cite live sources before it's even allowed to generate a response.. OpenAI Operator launched with a 32.6% success rate on computer-use tasks.. People called it "the world's most anxious intern" because it pauses every 5 seconds to ask if it's doing the right thing.. Perplexity runs multi-hour and multi-day workflows independently.. Only interrupts you when it hits a decision that actually matters.. You can start a task from your iPhone on the train.. And it executes on your Mac mini at home.. The economics are wild too.. Internal studies show it saved teams an average of $1.6 million in labor costs.. Performing 3.25 years of work in four weeks.. And unlike every other AI company.. Perplexity dropped ads entirely.. They charge $200 a month because they said they're in the "accuracy business".. Not the advertising business.. They even launched a $42.5 million publisher program to pay media partners when their content gets cited.. While OpenAI is getting sued by every newspaper on earth.. Google and OpenAI want you locked into their ecosystem.. If a better model comes out tomorrow you're stuck.. Perplexity just updates its routing matrix.. You get the best model on earth automatically.. No switching.. No migrations.. No friction.. This isn't an AI assistant anymore.. This is the first real AI employee.. And it costs $200 a month.
