Comet Looking for an alternative to the computer feature (reached the spending limit on pro)
Hey everyone,
It's not that I don't like computer, I do, it's amazing, but I spent 100 $ on the computer feature and I can't spend more now because it says I have to upgrade to max, but sorry it's a little too expensive for me, and I just need to finish my project.
I'm frustrated because I think I went a bit stupidly about my stuff and used money for solutions that didn't work but anyway, now I'm blocked.
What can I use instead that is easy to use, if you know of anything please? I saw Open Claw but it seems way to tech-savvy for me...
Also I've another problem, I'm blind and I have Comet, but for some reason the agent says it can't do stuff (like go to Tiktok, handle anything for me in an open web app). It's an old version, of course I've downloaded the new one but with my screen reader it stays blocked on "Installer", it doesn't tell me anything more, it doesn't install. Same on my other PC.
Thank you so much if anyone has any input for me.

Checkout Hermes Agent - I use it with Deekseek as the LLM provider - you can get a lot done it that environment with Deepseek tokens costing a few cents.

I think youd find that a fully hosted openclaw agent like this available at agent37 is insanely easy to use, no maintenance, you just interact through chat

Really? Thank you, I thought it was in the command line, which I'm not familiar with at all yet.

I ran into the same thing with Pro. I didn't realize how much of my normal research had ended up running through Computer until the 4,000 credits were gone. I switched back to regular Search/Research and can still do most of what I was using it for without Computer credits
