Hand off trip research and deal hunting while you keep working
A TechRadar writer kept Comet's assistant busy with personal errands while he wrote an article: shortlisting restaurants for a trip, checking hotel availability and finding the best price on a game.
What they did
He asked Comet to browse Michelin Guide restaurants in Copenhagen against his criteria, check hotel availability in Japan for a trip the following year, and track down the best deal on a game he had forgotten to preorder. He left it running and moved on to his own work.
How it went
The writer says the shift came once he stopped watching the agent and let it run in the background, which let him focus fully on writing.
Worth knowing
He did not trust the beta with his personal details to complete a restaurant booking, and notes some prompts crashed. Early impressions after about 48 hours, with no results shown in detail.

Give links for everything and do not book or buy anything.
