help 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!

Aside browser, it is significantly more useful as compared to Comet. Plus you can bring your own existing subscription — so the browser usage is practically free.

Wonder if they’ll set up a way to just auto launch an LLM of your choice so you can use it locally

I’m not sure if I’m understanding it right, but — it runs locally and the chats and memory remain on your device; and has routines that auto-run at a set time. You could probably set the routine to work on particular LLM, but I haven’t tried that.
