In this video, the creator compares ChatGPT’s newly released AI browser, Atlas, with Perplexity’s AI browser, Comet, which is considered one of the top AI search engines. The comparison focuses on several tasks including replying to YouTube comments, creating NA10 AI agents, finding the latest tech news, managing tabs, and posting on LinkedIn based on the news found. The creator sets up a side-by-side test with ChatGPT Atlas on the left and Perplexity Comet on the right to evaluate their performance in real-time.
The first test involved replying to the creator’s most recent three YouTube comments. Perplexity Comet performed better by drafting three different chat threads where the creator could edit or post comments directly. In contrast, ChatGPT Atlas failed to draft any comments or take meaningful action. This gave Perplexity an early lead in terms of practical functionality and user experience for this task.
Next, the creator tested the ability to create a simple NA10 AI agent that could read emails and test it with the latest email. Both browsers connected to the creator’s cloud instance, which was impressive. ChatGPT Atlas was faster at building the agent and successfully created a working AI workflow that could read emails. Perplexity Comet struggled with this task and eventually failed, giving ChatGPT the win in this category.
When it came to finding the latest tech news and opening relevant tabs, Perplexity Comet again showed strength by opening three relevant tabs with current tech news and trends. ChatGPT Atlas, however, did not follow instructions well and failed to open any tabs, providing less relevant news stories. The creator noted that Perplexity’s interface also offered useful next search suggestions, making it more user-friendly for exploring topics further.
Finally, both browsers were tasked with posting the top AI story on LinkedIn. Perplexity Comet was quicker to post after a simple confirmation, while ChatGPT Atlas required more explicit instructions to proceed. Comparing the LinkedIn posts, the creator preferred Perplexity’s style, which included bullet points and a clearer structure. Overall, the creator felt that while Atlas shows promise, especially with its sidecar LLM feature, Perplexity Comet currently offers a better user experience and faster, more accurate task execution. The video ends with a call for viewers to share their opinions on Atlas and the future of AI browsers.
