Jared Newman tested a concrete account chore with Perplexity Comet: canceling his trial of Clear, the airport concierge service. He was already signed into the Clear website before asking the browser agent to do the work.
Comet navigated the account's menu system, initiated a cancellation request and handled the required customer-support chat on its own. Newman reports that the process took seconds, compared with the five to ten minutes he expected to spend manually. The article describes the request and chat interaction; it does not reproduce a cancellation receipt or quantify avoided subscription charges.
The important starting condition was the existing browser session. Newman explains elsewhere in the same account that browser agents can act on personal context because sites are already signed in. That made this a sequence of account actions rather than instructions telling him which menus to click.
His broader review remains cautious. Other agent tasks had encountered unexplained obstacles, and he discusses privacy and security concerns around agents reading logged-in pages. Those reservations accompany the successful cancellation account. No additional human checkpoint during the Clear support chat is described, and the published task instruction is not quoted verbatim.
