We hadn’t even heard of agentic AI until recently, and now suddenly, companies like Google, OpenAI, and others are betting big on the tech. These aren’t just chatbots that answer your questions; they’re smart assistants that actually get things done for you. Think of it as AI with initiative. An agentic AI won’t just help you find the best coffee shop in your area — it’ll figure out what beans they use, order them for you from Amazon, and even schedule a recurring delivery if you want. But that’s just a basic, surface-level example. The real magic is in how these systems are evolving. They’re increasingly able to make decisions, take actions, and accomplish goals with little human input. And Perplexity’s Comet Assistant is a prime example of what this kind of AI can do when embedded into something we’ve used for decades — the web browser.
