Introducing Comet Shortcuts
You can now automate repetitive boring web workflows with simple natural language prompts and access them with a /command anywhere
We envision a future where people will be able to share and monetize custom shortcuts they built. More on that soon.
@phbenz Haha I'm not trying to coin a new word or something. I just think people's use of "prompt" tends to (incorrectly) trivialize a rather complex component. You prompt an LLM to tell you why the sky is blue. But apps build contexts (meticulously) for LLMs to solve their custom tasks.
+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering".
People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window with just the right information for the next step. Science because doing this right involves task descriptions and explanations, few shot examples, RAG, related (possibly multimodal) data, tools, state and history, compacting... Too little or of the wrong form and the LLM doesn't have the right context for optimal performance. Too much or too irrelevant and the LLM costs might go up and performance might come down. Doing this well is highly non-trivial. And art because of the guiding intuition around LLM psychology of people spirits.
On top of context engineering itself, an LLM app has to:
- break up problems just right into control flows
- pack the context windows just right
- dispatch calls to LLMs of the right kind and capability
- handle generation-verification UIUX flows
- a lot more - guardrails, security, evals, parallelism, prefetching, ...
So context engineering is just one small piece of an emerging thick layer of non-trivial software that coordinates individual LLM calls (and a lot more) into full LLM apps. The term "ChatGPT wrapper" is tired and really, really wrong.
You can now schedule tasks with Perplexity on WhatsApp. This is the first time you get to feel a basic “assistant” on WhatsApp that sends you periodic news alerts, custom reminders at a frequency you set all in simple natural language. Message +1 (833) 436-3285 to start.
Introducing 11ai - the AI personal assistant that's voice-first and supports MCP.
This is an experiment to show the potential of Conversational AI:
1. Plan your day and add your tasks to Notion
2. Use Perplexity to research a customer
3. Search and create Linear issues
