Comet: The Human-AI Browser is your field guide to a new way of working on the web—where the browser is not just a window but a collaborator. For three decades, we clicked, copied, and juggled tabs. With Comet, the loop compresses: research is evidence-first, coding is repo-aware, writing is versioned and critique-ready, design is token-driven, and automations run safely under your control.
This book shows you how to turn intent into outcomes—faster, safer, and with reproducible trails you can trust.
What you'll learn
- The new baseline: Why AI-native browsing matters and what "ambient copilots" really change in your day-to-day.
- Responsible speed: A practical model for speed, safety, context-awareness, and interoperability—without sacrificing control.
- Inside the engine: How rendering, sandboxing, permissions, and an Assistant OS (prompts, tools, memory, task graphs) make help powerful and accountable.
- Research Mode: Web triage, citation discipline, and note graphs with provenance so insights withstand scrutiny.
- Coding Mode: Snippets, tests in the browser, live previews, and repo-aware assistants to ship with confidence.
- Writing Mode: Outlines, versioned drafts, inline critique, and publication pipelines that turn creativity into repeatable delivery.
- Design Mode: Component galleries, design tokens, and auto-spec from UI states to keep design and code in sync.
- Power Automations: Scheduled checks, custom agents, and a secure credentials vault for dependable execution.
- Teams and Governance: Clear roles, policy packs, and shared datasets for speed with guardrails.
- The Road Ahead: Edge inference, privacy-preserving analytics, and local-first AI—why products that "just work" and can prove privacy will win.
Why this book
- Actionable patterns: Checklists, mental models, and repeatable workflows you can adopt in hours—not months.
- Evidence and accountability: Build trails, citations, logs, and specs by default so your work scales and stands up to review.
- Designed for doers: Researchers, developers, writers, designers, product leaders, and operators who live in the browser.
If you've ever thought, "There must be a faster way to do this—without losing track of what's true," this book is your playbook. Meet Comet. Turn goals into outcomes. Keep control.
