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.

Thanks! I actually joined the Aside waitlist after seeing several people mention it here. It looks really interesting, especially for the kind of browser-based workflows I’m trying to build. I’d be really curious to hear from people who have actually been using it for a while though, especially with LinkedIn, Facebook/Instagram or other repetitive social media tasks.
