• Researchers who want relevant citations.
• Shoppers who want to find the best deal without manual effort.
• Anyone who needs a virtual assistant that’s easy to use.

You will build a practical starting workflow for using Comet as an AI browser and assistant.

• A basic understanding of Comet’s sidebar and navbar tools.
• A tested Space template workflow.
• A first Assistant workflow that can interact with a shopping page.
• A plan for enabling integrations such as Assistant, Connectors, and Purchases.
