AI browser automation has transformed my research, shopping, and ticket booking workflows
Comet's best features include its smart response system that acts intelligently on whatever questions are asked and conducts global research on the browser. It serves as a personal assistant for users, focusing on how searches, specific data targets, calendar functionalities, Gmail activities, preferred languages, and relevant searches function within Comet. This setup significantly reduces task efficiency in high latency scenarios, providing dynamic websites, faster responses, quicker solutions, and smoother searches compared to typical browsing methods. It serves as an AI assistant or personal assistant for the browser, understanding context on web pages and delivering correct solutions, summaries, and explanations. Additionally, I can effectively engage in shopping by identifying booking options, comparing multiple platforms for cheaper prices, and obtaining ticket bookings and train bookings, all through the browser instead of searching through numerous platforms. Comet's smart researching and the ability to find cheaper prices in shopping and ticket booking are the features I personally find most useful in my day-to-day work, making my tasks easier and more efficient. Comet excels in web browser functionalities, particularly as an AI web browser. As an AI tech lead, I have experienced positive impacts from Comet in my organization by facilitating many client researches related to LLM, AI, and agentic automations. Comet behaves effectively in researching different platforms such as LinkedIn, Kaggle, Indeed, Naukri.com, and even other tools such as Malt for identifying potential clients suitable for our projects and tasks.

Consistent threat hunting and anomaly detection deliver valuable insights for network security management
In terms of improvement for Darktrace, pricing is the main concern. Pricing bothers me and this is one of the major factors when choosing a solution. When we get feedback from customers, that's the only felt need. When we factor in Darktrace, we do it only limited. We put it on where the perimeters and connections are, but still, some gray areas are left out, especially if we have multiple branches. We need Darktrace on each branch to get the data out, and I suggest having some kind of a centralized product that gets data from multiple sources to aggregate and provide the data.
