AI in Design, Episode 8: From Browsing to Brainstorming with Comet
AI in Design: Episode 8 — A First Look at Comet by Perplexity
In this month’s episode of AI in Design, Jenna introduces us to Comet by Perplexity, a brand-new internet browser with an integrated AI assistant that is changing how we research, create, and interact online. Think of it as wrapping a powerful large language model into your browser—making the web smarter, faster, and more intuitive.
What makes Comet stand out? It doesn’t just search the page you’re on—it can pull context from across the web, weaving information together seamlessly. In her video, Jenna demonstrates how designers can use these capabilities to streamline research, spark creativity, and save time.
Imagine browsing a trade vendor site and instantly asking your AI assistant to build a mood board, summarize pricing details, or highlight product specs—all without leaving the page. With today’s tariffs and supply chain complexities, the ability to quickly gather and compare insights is invaluable. Comet transforms your browser into a true design partner—whether you’re writing, sourcing, or developing new ideas.
Jenna shows us that success comes down to one key skill: good prompting. With the right questions, Comet can help you cut through noise, gather inspiration, and uncover solutions in real time.
Ready to see it in action? Watch the full episode of AI in Design and explore how this breakthrough tool can become your go-to assistant for research, writing, and beyond.
