What is Perplexity Comet?
Comet is Perplexity’s browser agent that extends their AI search engine into the browser. It’s designed to help with research tasks — finding information, answering questions, and taking simple browser actions.
How dassi is different
dassi and Comet solve different problems. Comet starts with search and adds browser actions. dassi starts with browser automation and uses AI to complete tasks.
Search vs task
Comet’s strength is research — finding answers across the web with citations. dassi’s strength is doing — filling forms, clicking buttons, extracting data, and running multi-step workflows.
Model flexibility
Comet uses Perplexity’s own models. dassi works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, and more. You pick the model that fits the task.
Automation
dassi lets you save any workflow as a Skill and schedule it to run daily, weekly, or on demand. Comet is designed for one-off research sessions, not repeatable automation.
When to choose Perplexity Comet
If your primary need is deep web research with citations and source verification, Comet is excellent. It’s a research tool first.
When to choose dassi
If you need to automate browser workflows — form filling, data extraction, scheduled tasks, file manipulation — dassi is built for action, not just answers.
Using both
These tools complement each other. Use Perplexity for research. Use dassi to act on what you find. Many users run both.
