Comet to book dinner and email a companion

IBM Think writer Anabelle Nicoud tried Comet after being invited to test the browser firsthand. She connected Gmail, Google Calendar and favourite websites, then used everyday tasks to see whether browser access could carry a request through to action.

One restaurant request was deliberately broad: find a restaurant and book it. Nicoud reports watching the browser act on her behalf. It also sent an email through Gmail to her husband, with wording she felt looked like her own. Those are reported actions from the test, rather than hypothetical examples of what an agent might eventually do.

A separate attempt exposed a contact-selection problem. When she asked for a table for herself and a friend, Comet emailed a different contact. Retrieving emails for an upcoming trip was also inconsistent. The article mentions navigation of a French train-booking system but does not establish a completed train purchase.

The source does not publish the restaurant, reservation time, payment or approval sequence. Its concrete contribution is the combination of booking and communication in one browser workflow, including the wrong-recipient failure. A successful-looking reservation request does not show that the intended companion was contacted. The account is useful as an early firsthand test whose actions and unresolved details can be kept separate.
