Recently, while experimenting with Comet Browser’s AI automation features, I encountered a situation that made me pause:
👉 I asked Comet to open a conversation on a job-matching platform, read the spec, and draft a reply.
👉 I reviewed and sent the reply myself (with “never send without consent” enabled).
👉 But when I logged back into the platform later via Chrome, the entire conversation thread was missing.
This raised an important concern: AI-powered browsers can directly interact with sensitive web data in ways that traditional browsers never did.
⚠️ That means:
An AI agent could unintentionally archive, delete, or move data inside a web app.
Platform sessions may behave differently across Comet vs Chrome.
Critical job applications, client conversations, or project threads could get lost.
đź”’ My takeaway:
Comet is powerful and exciting, but when dealing with sensitive information (like client messages, job applications, or financial data), double-check before letting AI agents interact on your behalf.
These tools are game-changers—but they also demand extra caution.
Have you faced anything similar with AI-native browsers or tools? Would love to hear how others are navigating this balance between automation and trust.
