Use Comet to browse, research, and compare tools

They used Comet for simple browser chores and later for work research, including tab control, pricing comparisons, and summaries they could paste into notes.

What they did
After getting access, they tried Comet on small browser jobs first: making a Spotify playlist, using Netflix, and even letting it play chess. A few weeks later, they shifted to work tasks and chatted with it in the browser while it took over tabs, grouped related pricing pages from different services, and summarized them. They then copied the checked summary into their notes.
How it went
Within about three and a half weeks, they had stopped keeping Chrome on their taskbar and said Comet saved them hours of reopening tabs. For one pricing comparison, the summary matched after they checked it by hand, and the final paste into notes went smoothly. They did run into issues when tables broke, markdown changed in Google Docs, and tab control sometimes needed a direct command.
Tips
If you want the agent to take over a page, say so explicitly; it may not act unless asked. Check tables and pasted formatting yourself before relying on them.
