In this episode, we explore three major AI developments: Perplexity’s new agentic browser, expanded access to OpenAI’s Deep Research, and Microsoft’s free “Think Deeper” feature in Copilot. We also reflect on yesterday’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet coding experiments and why one-shot prompting may not be the best approach for showcasing AI’s true capabilities.
Keywords

Key Takeaways
The One-Shot Prompt Reality
- Social media demos create unrealistic expectations
- Even benchmark-leading models require iteration
- Productive approach requires back-and-forth collaboration
- Planning a “redemption episode” with proper iterative process
- Importance of realistic AI adoption demonstrations
Perplexity Comet Browser
- Fully integrated agentic web browser
- Built around advanced AI search capabilities
- Extended functionality beyond research (booking, scheduling, purchasing)
- Rumored to be built on Chromium framework
- Potential direct competitor to Google Chrome
AI Access Expansion
- OpenAI Deep Research now available to $20/month Plus subscribers
- Microsoft offering unlimited free “Think Deeper” in Copilot
- Rapid democratization of previously premium features
- Accelerating the adoption cycle across platforms
- Breaking down cost barriers to advanced AI capabilities
Anthropic’s Pokémon Experiment
- Claude tested on autonomous gameplay capabilities
- Using vision and function calling for navigation
- Demonstrates both capabilities and current limitations
- Provides insights into generalized reasoning abilities
- Shows the current state of AI autonomy
Practical Applications
- Comparing multiple deep research tools
- Leveraging free reasoning capabilities in daily workflows
- Accessing premium features without premium pricing
- Testing how different models fit specific user needs
- Focusing on results rather than benchmarks
Looking Forward
- Upcoming Claude 3.7 iterative coding demonstration
- Building complex landing pages step-by-step
- Testing competing deep research capabilities
- Monitoring Perplexity’s browser development
- Tracking the democratization of AI capabilities
The episode highlights that the AI landscape is increasingly focused on accessibility rather than just capability, with premium features becoming available to everyday users at an unprecedented pace.
