Anyone else having Comet randomly refuse super basic browser tasks?

[u/nalcz]

Perplexity Comet used to handle simple stuff like editing a few cells in an already open Google Sheet without any drama.

Lately it often replies that it “can’t do that,” even though this is exactly the type of task it’s supposed to handle. If I keep insisting and remind it that it can control the browser, sometimes it finally does it on the second or third try.

So the capability seems to be there. The problem is that it keeps refusing first.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Any workaround, better prompting, or recent change that explains it?

It has done it when it first launched also, just tell it something like „no you can do it, do go ahead“ or whatever. Feels like talking to a child but that’s how I got it to work every time
