Shopping & ErrandsDone with Perplexity Comet
Find coffee makers under $100 and add options to the cart
Perplexity Comet searched Amazon for coffee makers with a grinder, built a comparison table and added two options to the cart, stopping before purchase.
- What They Did
- DreamHost's testers gave Comet one plain-language prompt. It was to go to Amazon, research the best coffee makers under $100 that grind beans, build a table of the top 5, and add two to the cart with a New York address selected. Comet searched and parsed the results page, built the comparison table with prices, and added two options to the cart.
- How It Went
- The task completed successfully, and Comet stopped at the cart page without trying to buy, which the testers called correct. The article gives no timing for Comet on this task.
- Worth Knowing
- The article says multi-step checkout, CAPTCHAs and security verification routinely break browser agents, so expect to finish the purchase yourself.
