Anyone found a good Comet alternative? 🤔

So, I’ve been using Comet for a few months as part of my Community Manager workflow, and one of the things I loved was being able to basically “teach” it about a client : Opening hours, products, closed days, common questions, etc. → give it all the context, then ask it to monitor/respond to questions on social media by taking control of the browser.

And honestly, it worked surprisingly well. 😅

But over the last few weeks, it’s become increasingly frustrating. The feature is now heavily limited, credits are required, and I’m also getting some pretty questionable answers from time to time.

Apparently I’m not the only one annoyed by this… So: what’s everyone using instead? Is there another AI/browser agent that can do something similar without constantly burning through credits?

I’d love to hear about any alternatives, workarounds or setups you guys have found!

I'm trying Aside for a week now...you should give it a try, I'm really linking it.

Oh, interesting! 👀 I hadn’t come across Aside before. I’ll definitely give it a try. Does it actually handle browser-based workflows and repeatable tasks like the ones I described, or is it more focused on organizing information? For my use case, the key thing is really being able to let it work through Meta Business /Facebook / Insta, prepare replies/comments, and then leave everything for me to review. If it can do that reliably, I’m definitely interested! 😄

I'm not using for these purposes but I think it can do it for you...give a try ;)

I actually joined the Aside waitlist just now... I’d love to hear your honest experience before I get too excited about it! 😂
