😸 Google Killer?

gm legends, happy Friday.

Here’s today’s lineup: Comet turns search into a running chat inside your browser with cited answers and quick actions; PersonaRoll spins up alter egos from your photos that write and post on a schedule; Kuse takes messy files, links and videos on a canvas and spits out docs, images, videos or web pages from the bits you pick.

P.S. Building something new? Tell us about it → editorial@producthunt.co 🫶

Comet by Perplexity is a browser that answers and acts. Highlight a line to get instant context with sources. Pop open the side panel and ask it to read, compare, or do the busywork. It can click, type, autofill and run tasks across sites like email, calendars, shopping and booking. 

🔥 Our Take: The internet keeps asking if this is the next Google. Chill. It feels moe like a research buddy that shows its work right now, which is cool.  If it nails everyday queries and earns trust outside the tech bubble, the hype will start to sound less crazy. Still, Perplexity wants to buy Chrome, so who knows? 

PersonaRoll turns your photos into multiple online personas that actually post. You upload a few shots, it matches them to trending topics, writes in distinct voices, and cranks out content on schedule so your feed stays warm without you living in it.

🔥 Our Take: “Influencer in a box” sounds cursed, but volume is the game and most brains hate calendars. This works if you set rules and keep a hand on the wheel. Give it your tone, ban your no-go topics, and let the clones handle the grind while you jump in for the moments that matter.

Kuse turns messy inputs into finished work on a visual canvas. Drop files, links, and videos. Arrange the good bits. Ask for a doc, image, video, or web page and it builds from what is on the board. Your sources stay visible and reusable so you are not tab hopping.

🔥 Our Take: If your brain lives in Figma and sticky notes, this hits home. It is like sweeping your research onto one table, pointing at the pile, and saying make the thing. The win is simple. Receipts sit next to the draft so you edit with proof, not vibes. Keep it tight and you avoid the junk drawer problem.

Gabe asks: should the internet be age-gated and ID-verified?

He points to what’s already happening in Europe, the goofy Death Stranding photo-mode workaround, the U.S. gearing up for its own rules, and Apple’s Verify with Wallet circling the space. He’s torn. Fewer kids stumbling into garbage is good. Turning the web into a bouncer that checks your passport at every door is not.

The open question he pushes back to the room: how do you protect minors without killing anonymity and shutting out people who cannot easily verify themselves? Anonymous proof-of-age, site-level controls, and parent filters get a mention, but the trade-offs are real. What would you ship first?
