Comet

What is Comet?

Comet is an AI-powered browser for iPhone and iPad that includes an AI assistant. Its core purpose is to help you search, research, and work directly in the browser by providing unified AI support and automation across the sites you’re visiting.

The app is positioned as a personal assistant and “thinking partner,” aimed at streamlining workflows like summarizing information, researching topics, and turning questions or ideas into next steps while you browse.

Key Features

• Unified AI search across sites: Use AI search and context while you’re viewing different webpages, rather than switching to separate tools.
• Instant context for what you’re looking at: Bring site content into the assistant’s workflow to support faster understanding and downstream tasks.
• In-browser AI actions: The assistant is described as supporting tasks such as summarize, shop, schedule, and research while you browse.
• Automation for “chores” on the web: The app’s browser workflow is designed to let the assistant handle routine tasks tied to browsing and information gathering.
• Adaptive organization based on how you work: Comet is described as learning your habits to help you stay organized and not lose track of tabs or inspiration.

How to Use Comet

1. Download and open Comet on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Use the browser normally to navigate to a page or start exploring a topic.
3. Use the built-in AI assistant to run actions like search, summarization, or research based on the content you’re viewing.
4. Continue browsing while the assistant supports your next steps; the app also aims to help you keep track of tabs and ideas.

Use Cases

• Deep research from multiple pages: Open sources in the browser and use the assistant to summarize and synthesize information as you investigate a topic.
• Planning a schedule from online info: When you find relevant details on the web, use the assistant’s scheduling support to organize next steps.
• Shopping guidance while browsing: Use in-browser AI to help with shopping-oriented tasks without leaving the page you’re viewing.
• Keeping focus during long reading sessions: Rely on summarization and “thinking partner” style support to reduce time spent manually extracting key points.
• Maintaining momentum across tabs: Use Comet’s habit-based organization and tab/inspiration tracking to avoid losing where you left off.

• Browsers with built-in research or summarization features: Instead of a dedicated assistant, these focus on productivity features inside a browser UI.
• Note-taking and web clipping tools with AI summarization: Useful when your workflow is to save pages first, then summarize or analyze later in a separate workspace.
• Productivity assistants that integrate with browsing via copy/paste: For users who prefer to browse normally and then run AI tasks by transferring content manually rather than using in-browser context.
