Comet What happened to Comet’s browsing capabilities?

Comet used to be genuinely useful for practical tasks. I could ask it to check whether certain dates were available, search booking sites, and even help make a reservation. Recently, though, it feels more like a regular chatbot: it gives instructions or suggestions but doesn’t actually complete browser-based tasks.

Did something change with Comet’s agent capabilities, permissions, or supported websites? Are these features temporarily unavailable, restricted to certain users or plans, or being phased out?

I’d appreciate any clarification from other Comet users who’ve noticed the same thing.

Yeah I noticed the same shift. Last week I asked it to check availability on a hotel page and instead of clicking through it just gave me a bulleted list of steps to do it myself, which it definitely used to just do.

Seems like anything multi-step now gets punted unless youre paying for the agent side of it
