1. How It Works
Comet includes a built-in Perplexity AI agent that understands natural language commands.
You can upload your resume (PDF format) and ask the AI to:
- Find open job listings that match your experience
- Evaluate which ones fit best
- Generate personalized responses or apply directly when possible
Everything happens through simple, conversational prompts β no extensions or plugins required.
2. Upload Your Resume
Before using the job automation feature, youβll need to upload your resume:
- Open Comet and click the Perplexity (Ask AI) icon.
- In the chat area, drag and drop your PDF resume, or click the paperclip π icon to upload it.
- Wait until the file is processed (youβll see a confirmation message).
π‘ Tip: Use a well-formatted resume in English (PDF, 1β2 pages) β this helps the AI extract your skills and experience accurately.
3. Use the Right Prompt
Once your resume is uploaded, you can type a natural-language command such as:
π§© βHereβs my resume. Find new remote job openings that match my skills and apply to them automatically using my CV.β
Or be more specific:
βUsing my uploaded resume, find marketing jobs that match my experience and write personalized applications for each.β
βFind 5 new remote developer jobs and prepare tailored cover letters using my CV.β
The AI will analyze your resume, identify your skills, and generate relevant job search queries.
When possible, it can also auto-fill application forms or draft responses for you.
4. Review Before Submitting (Recommended)
Although the AI can apply automatically, itβs best to review the drafts before sending:
- Read the generated job descriptions or messages.
- Edit details like contact info or cover letter tone.
- Approve final applications manually if required by the site.
This ensures every response feels personal and accurate.
5. Example Commands You Can Try
You can experiment with prompts like:
- βUse my resume to find open content writer positions this week.β
- βSearch for remote UX designer jobs and prepare short cover letters.β
- βFind startup roles that fit my profile and apply using my uploaded resume.β
- βCheck if there are new job listings I havenβt applied to yet.β
Cometβs AI will handle the search, summarization, and even application writing β all inside your browser.
6. Privacy and Safety
Your resume stays private β Comet and Perplexity donβt sell or share your data.
Uploaded documents are used only within your session to understand your experience and match suitable roles.
You can delete your file or clear your session at any time.

Using Cometβs built-in AI assistant, you can:
- Upload your resume once
