👩🏻‍💻 Perplexity launches Comet, its AI browser, for all users

Comet is the new browser that the generative AI company Perplexity has just launched for free to any internet user.

This browser was released in a limited capacity last July. After accumulating, according to Perplexity, millions of users on the waiting list, it opened up to any user a few days ago (for now it can be downloaded and used on Mac computers or those equipped with Windows, and Perplexity assures that mobile versions will be available soon).

What is Comet's main differentiating factor compared to other browsers? Basically, that it integrates Perplexity's artificial intelligence directly, which allows it to be used for multiple functions, so that the user maintains a relationship with the browser based on asking questions and conversing with the AI.

The browser offers users an Assistant that can perform tasks autonomously, such as drafting emails and helping to manage email, scheduling meetings, comparing products, or preparing online purchases, among many other possibilities.

Comet offers integrations with more than 800 apps and services to be able to perform all these tasks.

If you want to try Comet and get a free month of Perplexity Pro, you can use the following affiliate link (which will also provide a benefit to the authors of this newsletter):

📖 Goodreads, the leading platform for book discovery and recommendations

Goodreads is possibly the largest digital platform in the world dedicated to book recommendations and discovery.

The project was founded in 2007 by Otis Chandler and Elizabeth Khuri Chandler, and was acquired by Amazon years later, in 2013, when it had already surpassed 10 million registered users.

Goodreads' mission is to "help readers discover the books they love and get more out of reading."

These are some of the things readers can do on Goodreads:

  • See what books their friends are reading

  • Keep track of books they've read, are currently reading, or want to read

  • Write reviews about those books and rate them

  • Check out personalized book recommendations. Goodreads' recommendation engine analyzes 20 billion data points to offer suggestions tailored to each user's literary tastes.

  • Find out if a book is right for them based on their preferences

  • Participate in virtual reading groups and book clubs.

Every year, Goodreads publishes a selection of the best books according to readers. Here you'll find last year's: Reader’s Favorite Books of 2024.

Currently, Goodreads has more than 150 million registered readers.

📷40 years of photojournalism from Reuters Pictures

To mark the 40th anniversary of Reuters Pictures, the Reuters news agency has just published a commemorative book, titled "In the Moment," and is preparing a series of photo exhibitions in honor of the visual journalism practiced by the agency and its photographers over the past four decades.

The book "In the Moment: 40 Years of Reuters Photojournalism" features around 500 photographs, organized by decade, and the personal accounts of the photographers who took the images.

A selection of 50 of these images are available in the digital special created by the photo agency about its 40 years of activity.

Reuters Pictures was founded in 1985, within the Reuters agency, as the first global digital image transmission network. Today, Reuters photojournalists send more than 1.5 million photographs each year that bear witness to what's happening across the planet.

Reuters Pictures has won seven Pulitzer Prizes and multiple Pictures of the Year International awards throughout these years.
