Hello friends playing with AI!
These past couple of days, I've seen many people posting screenshots about the Comet promotion commission:
This is a limited-time promotion for the Comet browser, a rare opportunity to earn some dollars.
The author spent over 2 hours today figuring out the entire process and wrote this article to share with everyone.
I. What's the background?
Recently, ChatGPT released a brand new AI browser -- Atlas. This browser can not only help you browse the web and organize various types of information but also assist you with writing, and even have intelligent assistant Agents handle some tasks for you.
This put pressure on Perplexity, who recently also launched a new browser product called Comet.
Facing this situation, Perplexity adopted an aggressive user acquisition strategy (up to $20 in the US), hoping to attract more users this way.
II. Operation Process
1. Download Comet and complete registration, log in to your account.
2. In the Comet browser, ask 1-3 questions.
3. Get 1 month of Perplexity Pro membership for free.
4. Share your invitation link (crucial).
5. Register on the Dub platform using your Perplexity email to view the number of invites and reward balance.

IV. How to Play?
This is a limited-time event, we don't know when the official activity will end, so just get started.
Share your invitation link through your various channels: such as official account, Xiaohongshu, community groups, or Xianyu, and wait for commissions to come in.
If you haven't registered yet, hurry up and generate your invitation link.
V. Perplexity Comet Gets Stuck on Network Connection During Installation
Many people get stuck on the network connection step and it doesn't proceed.
If the installation of the Perplexity Comet browser gets stuck, and you are on a Windows computer with a VPN, you can try using the following command to set up a proxy server. First, set two environment variables, `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` (only effective for the current command line session), pointing both HTTP/HTTPS proxies to the local `127.0.0.1:7897`. Then use `start` to launch the executable file `comet_installer_latest.exe` in the current directory in a new window/new process. This command only affects this download, no need to worry about affecting future use.
[Note: When executing the command, you must first navigate to the directory where the downloaded file is located, otherwise the command execution will fail.]
set http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7897& set https_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:7897& start "" ".\comet_installer_latest.exe
I was also stuck on this step for a long time and tried many methods before finally solving the environment configuration issue.
