CometStrawberry chases the invoices and schedules the repeat
Twenty invoices matched against the payments dashboard, four chases drafted in your voice and staged for a click, the monthly repeat saved as a routine. Comet also runs an assistant in your signed-in browser, descended from Perplexity’s answer engine.
Give a companion “go through the twenty open invoices, match them against the payments dashboard, and chase the four that are overdue”. The four chases come back drafted in your own voice, each waiting on an approval card, and the monthly version saves as a routine that runs itself.
Comet is a real browser on your machine too, and its assistant can act on pages in your session as of this writing. Both products clear the bar most of the category misses. The divergence is ancestry: Perplexity built an answer engine and grew a browser around it, while Strawberry started from multi-step work in your accounts and grew the browser around that.
| Comet | Strawberry | |
|---|---|---|
| Runs locally, in your session | Yes | Yes |
| Product DNA | Answer engine grown into a browser | Work execution grown into a browser |
| Strongest motion | Ask, read, understand, with citations | Multi-step tasks finished in your tools |
| Recurring work | See Perplexity’s site, as of this writing | Scheduled routines |
| Approvals | Perplexity’s own model, as of this writing | Approval cards + Ask Always mode |
| Memory between runs | Not published, as of this writing | Companions keep your project, tone and corrections between runs |
What counts as finished?
Draft the four chase emails, stage them for your approval, log the outcomes, and put the recurring version on a routine so next month it happens without being asked. That last third is work leaving your plate rather than a faster browsing session.
What the companion is carrying
Native integrations for Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Notion, Zoom and Apollo, first-class tool calls rather than page-driving. Scheduled routines with run history and per-run credit cost. Meeting prep and transcription. An approval card in front of anything consequential, with Ask Always mode behind it.
Comet ships Perplexity’s search and answering stack and its own assistant capabilities, which move quickly enough that their site is the place to read the current list.
Whose claims can you test?
Ours are built to be checked. The task suite and scoring rules are public at /benchmarks/spec, results sit at /benchmarks/strawberry-vs-competition, and completed real-world runs are at /real-runs.
The second run is cheaper than the first
Companion memory keeps your project, your tone and the corrections you made, so next month’s invoice chase takes a sentence rather than a briefing.
