Use Comet to handle forms and guided browser tasks
A user had Perplexity Comet follow instructions, work through browser-based training, and complete a form.
- What they did
- They used Perplexity Comet in agentic mode and gave it step-by-step directions, including instructions for other AI tools it might use. Comet then took control of the browser, moved through the page flow, and filled in the form. Another user described a clearer case where it opened 18 training modules, watched them, entered each quiz, and retried missed questions until it cleared the assessment.
- How it went
- People in the thread said it finished the form and completed all 18 modules in one assessment sequence. The main drawbacks were that it was slower than doing the work by hand, it sometimes picked the wrong quiz answer on the first pass, and it lacked OCR or Google Lens-style help.
- Tips
- This works best when the instructions are specific and the site flow is straightforward. Ask it to pause before any submission step so you can review answers first.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
Open [form or training URL] and take me through it step by step. Use the details I provide to fill in any fields, follow any page instructions, and if you need to interact with other tools or linked content, do that as well. Stop before any final submission or send button, show me the completed answers and any choices you made, and wait for my approval before you submit anything.
