The Rundown: Perplexity new Comet’s AI browser connects to your calendar and email to provide intelligent summaries, event management, and automated company research based on your meetings.

🧰 Who is this useful for:

  • Busy executives managing multiple meetings and need quick prep
  • Sales professionals researching prospects before calls
  • Project managers coordinating team schedules and client meetings
  • Entrepreneurs staying updated on partner companies and industry trends


STEP 1: Connect Your Accounts in Perplexity Comet

First, set up your Perplexity Comet workspace by selecting your profile in the bottom-right corner. Navigate to “Connectors” in the settings menu, where you'll find integration options for various productivity tools.

Enable the Calendar and Email connectors by clicking on “Enable” and following the authentication prompts. You’ll need to grant permissions for Perplexity Comet to access your calendar and email data.

STEP 2: Get Quick Calendar Overviews

Now you can get instant insights about your upcoming schedule. Simply select the “Assistant” and ask:

“What's on my calendar next week?”

Comet will analyze your calendar data and provide a comprehensive overview of all your scheduled events, meetings, and appointments. You'll get details about timing, attendees, and meeting purposes, giving you a clear picture of your upcoming week at a glance.

STEP 3: Reschedule Events and Draft Communications

Take calendar management to the next level by combining event editing with automated communication. You can handle complex scheduling changes in one request:

"Move my tennis event to Friday 25th same time and draft an email to [attendee] saying if it's okay to move to Friday"

Perplexity Comet will not only reschedule your event but also compose a professional email to inform the relevant parties about the change, saving you time on both calendar management and communication tasks.

STEP 4: Research Meeting Participants with AI News and Questions

For upcoming business meetings, you can quickly gather intelligence and prepare talking points. Try this approach:

“I have two calls on Wed, can you give the latest AI news about those two companies and prepare me 3 questions to ask”

Perplexity Comet will identify the companies from your Wednesday meetings, research their recent AI developments and industry news, then suggest relevant questions to help you lead meaningful conversations and demonstrate your awareness of their current initiatives.
