🚀 This Week's Game Changer

Perplexity's Comet: The AI Browser That Does Your Work For You

What happened: Perplexity launched Comet, a free AI-powered browser that doesn't just answer questions...it executes tasks. Users are asking it to complete Coursera assignments, execute stock trades, add grocery cart items from recipe videos, and navigate banking portals. All through natural language commands.

The controversial part: Someone asked Comet to complete their entire Coursera assignment. Not "help with", but complete it. The AI read the questions, selected answers, clicked submit. Course completed. Perplexity founder Aravind Srinivas quote-tweeted: "don't do this." But here's the thing: you can. And people are.

Business impact:

For Productivity Teams: 20-minute workflows collapse into 2-minute commands
For E-commerce: Recipe-to-grocery-cart automation changes how people shop
For Operations: Banking and administrative tasks execute through conversation

The bigger picture: This isn't Chrome with AI features. This is AI that controls your browser. It opens tabs, fills forms, clicks buttons, and executes multi-step tasks while you watch. The technology that lets it complete assignments can also automate your expense reports, book complex travel itineraries, or research competitors.

Why it matters: We're choosing between getting faster and getting smarter. Comet can save massive time, but every delegated task is also a task you're choosing not to learn. The companies using this strategically will automate low-value work while keeping humans on high-value decisions. The ones delegating everything will build dependency, not capability.

🛠 AI Tool Spotlight

Figma + Google: AI That Finally Stays in Your Workflow

What it does: Figma integrated Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0, and Imagen 4 directly into design files. 13 million designers can now generate and edit images through conversational prompts without leaving their workspace or hunting through stock photo libraries.

Key features:

Text prompts replace image library searches
50% latency reduction during internal testing
Multi-platform strategy (works with both Google and OpenAI models)
Native generation within existing Google Cloud infrastructure
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI read actual design structure

Best use cases: Design teams iterating on mockups, marketers creating campaign visuals, founders building product prototypes, anyone who loses focus switching between design tools and stock image sites.

Real example: A solo founder designs her SaaS dashboard in Figma, enables Dev Mode with MCP, then uses Claude to convert the Figma page into React + Tailwind code. Claude reads the real design structure (frames, components, spacing)—not screenshots—and outputs usable components. She spends minutes refining instead of hours rebuilding.

Getting started: Enable Figma Dev Mode, turn on MCP server, install a connector plugin (Claude MCP), authenticate access, then prompt: "Generate React + CSS for the frame named 'DashboardMain'." Start with small components (cards, modals) before tackling full pages.

Why it's a breakthrough: Traditional workflows force designers to leave Figma, search external sources, download images, upload them back. Every visual decision includes friction and broken focus. Native AI generation keeps designers in flow state from concept to final polish.

🧠 Quick Wins: 5 AI Tools Worth Investigating

Based on this week's newsletter coverage and practical applications:

🌐 Perplexity Comet Browser - AI-powered browser that executes multi-step tasks

Use case: Automate repetitive web workflows, research coordination, administrative tasks (currently free!)

🎨 Figma AI Integration - Gemini models embedded directly in design workflows

Use case: Generate custom visuals without leaving design files, eliminate stock photo hunting

🤖 OpenAI AgentKit - Visual no-code platform for building AI agents

Use case: Create autonomous systems for customer support, research, onboarding without coding

📈 Business Intel: This Week's Market Movers

🎯 OpenAI's Platform Play DevDay 2025 wasn't about incremental updates...it was about positioning ChatGPT as the next platform layer. Apps embedded in conversations, visual agent builders, and enterprise-grade models signal OpenAI's push beyond being "just a chatbot" into becoming infrastructure for AI-powered business operations.

💻 The AI Chip Wars Intensify AMD's massive OpenAI deal (6 GW of compute, tens of billions in revenue) cements them as Nvidia's serious challenger. With AI data center demand projected to grow 25% annually through 2030 and GPU shortages persisting, diversified chip pipelines become critical infrastructure strategy.

🎨 Design Workflow Revolution Figma's Google partnership represents the end of context-switching hell for designers. Native AI generation means 13 million users stay in flow state instead of hunting external resources. Early adopters complete projects measurably faster while competitors maintain fragmented workflows.

🌐 Agentic Browsing Arrives Comet's free launch democratizes web automation that previously required expensive RPA software. Companies automating routine web tasks (expense reporting, travel booking, research compilation) gain immediate productivity advantages. The ethical question: which tasks should humans still do?

📱 AR Advertising on the Horizon Market projections show AR advertising climbing from $1.52B (2024) to $2.24B by 2029. Major shopping districts expected to pilot AR zones by 2026. Static outdoor campaigns risk obsolescence as personalized, context-aware overlays become standard by 2027-2028.

💡 Prompt of the Week

Clearance Sale Urgency Generator

Create compelling last-chance messaging that drives immediate action without feeling manipulative:

How to use: Replace bracketed sections with your actual clearance details. Run in ChatGPT or Claude. Use for email campaigns, SMS marketing, or social media posts.

Expected output: Compelling urgency messaging that converts without damaging brand trust, formatted for immediate use across multiple channels.

Pro variation: Add "Create three versions: conservative, moderate, and aggressive urgency levels" to test which resonates with your audience.

📚 This Week's Curated Reading

Based on key developments from this week's AI newsletters:

• Agentic AI Ethics: Perplexity's Comet raises questions about automation boundaries—when does "helpful" become "too much"? Understanding where to draw lines matters more than the technology itself.

• Design Tool Integration: Figma's MCP implementation shows how AI works best when embedded in existing workflows rather than requiring separate interfaces or tools.

• Platform Economics: OpenAI's embedded apps strategy challenges traditional app store models—distribution through contextual relevance beats discovery through browsing.

• Infrastructure Diversification: AMD deal demonstrates strategic importance of multi-vendor AI infrastructure as compute demands explode and supply constraints persi

• Future of Outdoor Advertising: AR overlay technology positioned to replace static billboards by 2027, requiring marketers to rethink location-based campaigns entirely.

🎯 Action Items for This Week

For Corporate Teams:

Test Perplexity Comet for routine web workflows (expense reports, travel booking, research)
Evaluate which tasks should stay human vs. which can be safely automated
Review OpenAI AgentKit for internal agent development opportunities

That's a wrap for Issue #3!

This week proved AI is moving from "answering questions" to "executing tasks." The platforms embedding AI into existing workflows (Figma, ChatGPT) will win over those requiring separate interfaces. The businesses that thoughtfully automate low-value work while keeping humans on high-value decisions will dominate.

Stay innovative, Jackie @ AI DUNN Right
