Hi {{First Name|Guys!}}!

Wow! It’s been a jam packed week of AI web browser launches this week! Here’s the launches to get you up to speed.

You can now get full on Agentic Web Browsers below:

  1. Perplexity Comet (out for a while for $200/mo but now free for all)

  2. ChatGPT Atlas (launched this week)

  3. Brave (out for a while)

  4. Google Gemini (last month)

  5. Microsoft Edge (launched this week)

To sum it up, the trend with these web browsers is going “AI native” so you never have to leave the browser. To some degree they can do the below (quality varies):

  • Perform actions: By clicking to fill out forms, book travel, order food, write emails, edit your reports

  • Agent mode (auto tasks) directly within the browser: Turn conversations into actions (e.g., “book a 2 PM meeting with Elena next Friday”)

  • Browser memory: Remembers all the sites you visited, tabs you have opened to give better custom answers. It basically “follows you everywhere” if you let it. Pretty much all allow you toggle on/off the memory if you feel comfortable (I personally haven’t)

  • Multimodal support: Highlight text, drag drop images/PDF directly on your browser to chat without switching tabs

Here are my thoughts:

  1. Perplexity Comet:

    • Been loving the Agentic features like Comet watching 10 youtube videos for you, collecting specific quotes/info you’re looking for in a 3hr video, putting this into a notion/Google doc (all without me lifting a finger!). Did I mention it blocks ads on Youtube videos? Here’s my vid

    • If you’re a power user like me, you’ll run out of usage pretty quick but you can still get 1 year free Perplexity Pro here if you have Paypal, since then, it’s pretty sweet!

    • I LOVE how accurate its answers are. I asked both ChatGPT Atlas + Perplexity Comet to look at all my Tiktoks/IG reels and find me all the links to videos where I’ve spoken about a certain AI Tool (I wanted to show this brand I’ve already done cool videos about them BUT I have over 1000+ videos to sift through). Atlas couldn’t do it but Comet did it with no sweat AND was correct!

  2. ChatGPT Atlas:

    • As you know, memory is one of ChatGPT’s biggest moats (until this week with Claude also launching memory but with limited data). This applies in their AI browser too. Every previous ChatGPT convo rolls over to Atlas automatically. So when you’re asking it to write you an email, it already has context without you starting from scratch

    • The edge it also has is not only is it now an AI browser, the output is written in such a way that is easily digestible where majority of output can just be used without too much editing. By comparison, Comet feels abit robotic/factual

    • Overall, it feels super intuitive, simple yet already feels familiar. I think they have done well as a first launch to tie ChatGPT chat to the AI web browser experience. Here’s my vid

  3. Google Gemini:

    • I haven’t tested this as it’s rolling out to US users (I’m in Australia ) but once I get access I’ll test it out for you guys. Here’s more info

  4. Microsoft Edge:

    • Just released 12 new AI features including a replacement for good old Clippy! It’s call Mico (he’s a cutie!)

    • You can invite your coworkers/friends to collaborate in your chat (sort of like a whatsapp group to work on projects like a plan trip)

    • It can also highlight on your screen on how to do something like “how do I access the stats on this platform?”. Here’s my vid

  5. Brave:

    • This one has been popping up in many of my comments section (many of you love this one for it’s AI privacy first + reliability + ad/tracker blocker but it’s not as AI heavy with features like Atlas or Comet

    • Privacy is a major concern due to things like prompt injections where your AI agent may get tricked due to hidden prompts on sites like Reddit, images on social media etc

    • I haven’t tried this but would love to start testing this one!

Which one to choose:

  • Have alot of research, multitasking, writing & context - Perplexity’s Comet or ChatGPT Atlas would be your best bet right now

  • If you’re worried about privacy but don’t care too much about super heavy AI features, Brave would be a better fit

  • If you’re deep in the Microsoft or Google ecosystem then these may suit you better

But if you have time, try play with the top 2-3 and see how they compare based on your workflow. You may find one suits you better!

Something I’m pondering:

I couldn’t quite put my finger on it before but setting up automation workflows often felt rigid and stiff (even when we added AI to it).

But seeing how these Agentic web browsers “do” things for you like answer all your linkedin comments, put together a proposal based on everything you can do to stalk this lead 😆 , find the emails of hiring manager & send them a custom cover letter + adjusted resume or schedule meeting with agenda to Amy based on her availability.

While these are still new and being tested for accuracy/reliability/privacy, these traditionally would be set up in Zapier, N8N or Make. But if you didn’t learn this, it may be just easier to chat to your web browser in the near future.

This in my opinion is a more realistic and true representation of how we work in our business or corporate life. Because majority of you aren’t going to be doing one task exactly the same way - things change, there’s different processes for each company you deal with etc.

It offers us a more fluid + dynamic + natural way to work with AI as if it were our real coworker that you’re handing off tasks to.

We’re heading toward a world where you’ll talk to your browser instead of clicking through workflows.

Now there is a time and place for AI automations but these new AI web browsers are an exciting peek into the future of work!

What do you think of today's email?
