By April 2026, Comet Enterprise is live, powered by Claude Opus 4.6, and handling research, summarisation, and autonomous multi-step workflows for enterprise teams.

• Why it matters for enterprise: Comet is the first mass-market not just a chat interface -- can go viral. 430,000 downloads that does things, not just answers questions.
• The agentic trust challenge: Comet's security saga is a launch, researchers found prompt injection vulnerabilities and the Straiker team demonstrated an agent silently erasing ban on Comet's shopping agent. Security issues plummeted
• The lesson for enterprise AI: Speed-to-viral is not the same that makes Comet powerful -- autonomous action, cross-app attack surface. This is exactly why SPIFFE identity, scoped switches exist.
• The agent browser as next platform: If Comet (or its successors) browser becomes the universal agent interface -- replacing natural-language autonomous workflows. Every enterprise participate.
