Because doing things on a desktop is really easy for me. However, doing things on a mobile device is not quite so efficient. First of all, my mobile typing skills would be laughed at by Gen Z."
"Comet was developed by Perplexity, which means it uses Perplexity AI to power all of its agentic functions. If I had to choose a favorite non-local AI, Perplexity would certainly be listed at the top of the heap. But how well does a solid AI translate to an agentic mobile browser experience?

Agentic AI is now integrated into a mobile web browser called Comet, available for Android and iOS with free installation and account creation. Comet uses Perplexity AI to power its agentic functions, enabling the browser to automate repetitive and cumbersome mobile tasks. The onboarding requires signing in or creating a free Perplexity account, after which the main browser interface is ready to perform actions. Mobile interactions are highlighted as less efficient than desktop, with typing and common phone tasks often being cumbersome. The agentic features aim to simplify such chores by acting like a portable AI 'in a box' to handle tasks on the go.
