What is the Perplexity AI Comet Browser?Comet is an AI web browser released by Perplexity AI. Comet essentially integrates Perplexity AI capabilities into a browser format. The concept involves having an AI web browser, similar to using Google Chrome but with AI integration.2. When was the Comet browser released, and to whom?The free Comet browser was recently made available to everyone worldwide. It was announced on a Thursday. However, Comet was initially released to people who had Perplexity Max in July. This three-month period (July to October) allowed Perplexity to keep it exclusive within their beta program or exclusive community before releasing it universally.3. How can I download the Comet browser, and what platforms is it available on?You can download the Comet browser by visiting perplexity.ai/comment. It is available for both Mac and Windows.4. What are the key features and capabilities of the Comet browser?The Comet browser offers several features that distinguish it from traditional browsers:• Extension Import: You can import your Google Chrome extensions into the Comet AI browser.• Agentic Capabilities: It is described as a personal assistant that helps with many things. It can: ◦ Autonomously control browser actions, such as closing tabs and opening pages. ◦ Fill out forms. ◦ Control Google Drive. ◦ Shop for you. ◦ Send out emails, leveraging a feature called "background assistant".• Current Focus: It is currently heavily focused on the web, though a mobile app is anticipated, similar to the existing Google Chrome app and Perplexity app.5. Why did Perplexity AI release the Comet browser?Perplexity is doing this to gain market share and compete with major rivals, particularly Google. The current browser market is heavily dominated by Google Chrome, which holds about 72% of the market share (specifically cited as 71.77% to 71.86% recently).6. How is Perplexity AI related to Microsoft and other platforms?Perplexity is closely associated with Microsoft and Bing. The platforms are interconnected, as LinkedIn is also owned by Microsoft. It is noted that Microsoft is also involved with Copilot and is "somewhere in the mix" of OpenAI/ChatGPT content, further connecting it to Comet.7. What are the major concerns regarding security and privacy with agentic AI browsers?The primary concerns revolve around security, privacy, and user adoption. Since the Comet browser can autonomously control browser actions, access Google Drive, and fill out forms, there are questions about how much security is provided.• Data Compromise: One critical concern is that if a company's chosen AI platform (like Comet) lacks necessary security measures, a client could be exposed to a hack, potentially compromising years of hard work.• Lack of Regulation: There is a belief that there is not enough regulation surrounding privacy in the AI space, often favoring convenience and productivity over individual privacy.8. How will AI search browsers impact SEO and business visibility?AI search models are changing how businesses achieve visibility:• Beyond Top 10: AI models are no longer just scanning the top 10 search pages; they are scanning anywhere between 10 to 40 links or sources. Businesses should aim to be in this "Top 40 listing".• Platform Diversity: Visibility is achieved when a brand is interconnected across various platforms, including LinkedIn, YouTube, Google, Pinterest, the website, blogs, videos, audios, and podcasts.• LinkedIn Importance: If Perplexity uses LinkedIn as one of its information sources, having a complete and active LinkedIn profile is significant for search results.• Contextual Content: Content needs to be contextually relevant, moving beyond just typing basic search phrases like "best restaurant near me".• SEO Relevance: SEO remains important; even if AI models like ChatGPT handle e-commerce orders, they are still pulling information from sources with high domain authority, which is based on SEO principles.9. What are the best practices for leveraging AI tools like Comet?Users should adopt a strategic approach when using these new AI tools:• Strategy and Learning: Use AI to strategize, discover different angles, and find solutions to problems you haven't considered. Ask AI how to improve upon an idea or find what is missing from your strategy.• Strategy vs. Dependence: Use AI as a tool to improve yourself and learn, but do not depend on it.• Privacy Protection: Exercise caution regarding privacy. Do not give out personal identifying information (PII) such as your specific address, phone number, or names of family members. Ask general questions instead of highly specific personal ones.• Prompt Awareness: Be aware that all prompts written into ChatGPT are typically indexed into Google unless you change your settings.Digital Marketing SEO Resources:>> Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community>> Read SEO Articles>> Need SEO Services?

I had such a great time recording this interview, and I know you are going to love it. Let's get to it! [3:43] Interview! Dan Chuparkoff, welcome to RIMScast! [3:52] Dan is super excited for this conversation. He says he doesn't always get this chance before an event to dig into some of his thoughts about the event and the industry. [4:37] Dan had a meandering career. He worked for 32 years in technology. He worked for some massive organizations, a 100-year-old company, McKinsey, some new startups, more mature startups like Atlassian, and Google. [5:15] Working for major enterprises and new startups, Dan got exposure to risk management perspectives from both extremes. He built a blend of how he thinks about risk that mixes the best of both worlds. That has helped make him successful. He'll talk about that in his keynote. [5:44] Dan brings some things he learned from nimble startups about experimentation, and keeps his eye out for the pitfalls that are coming in the future, which the major enterprises had more risk awareness to avoid. [6:08] Dan worked alongside risk managers, who were the Chief Legal Officer, or even the CEO, to figure out when they were taking smart risks and when they needed to stop doing something they had started. [6:40] Dan learned of Enterprise Risk Management while working at a marketing services software development agency. They were building software for global enterprises. As they built software, the enterprise would have a review board evaluate it for quality and policy adherence. [7:09] From 2002 to 2010, Dan got real exposure to global risk management. He learned things like the risk philosophy of European countries and the European Union, as it differs from American risk philosophy. [7:35] Dan notes that the risk management profession tunes you to be a systems thinker, not just a siloed thinker. You're not just thinking about what your team is doing, but you're thinking of the downstream ripple effects of every decision that you make. [7:53] As you become a leader in charge of more of the organization, systems thinking prepares you to understand the ripple effect of your decisions and think about how decisions need to be coordinated across the different streams of the organization. That makes you a great leader. [8:40] About 15 years into Dan's career, he realized there were some things he knew deeply and was really passionate about. When those things came up in meetings, he was outgoing. He stood up and marked on the whiteboard. [9:06] He had this passion, and he knew it would be helpful to share it. Before he started thinking about audiences and microphones, he started thinking about the content he was passionate about. That content was about people's ability to change and adapt to new technology. [9:29] Technology changes all the time. New technology is confusing and filled with risk. At some point, you have to get on that new bus, or the organizations in your industry will pass you by. Dan became excited about that. It became easier for him to talk in bigger groups. [9:54] One day, Dan found himself onstage at a Gartner conference in front of 800 people, and that was the beginning of a journey he says is now the best job in the world. [10:34] RIMS Events! On September 18th, the 10th Annual Chicagoland Risk Forum will be held at The Old Post Office in Chicago. Register at ChicagoRIMS.org.

[11:46] Let's Return to Our Interview with ERM Conference Keynote, Dan Chuparkoff! [11:58] Justin asks how Dan's experience of building and leading teams at Google, McKinsey, and Atlassian, delivering software to billions, informs his current approach as the CEO of Reinvention Labs to helping organizations reinvent work with the power of AI. [12:15] Dan was an intern at an architecture firm when he was 17. One architect had AutoCAD, and all the others were drawing on paper. The architect with AutoCAD used copy-and-paste to accelerate his work. That changed the way Dan looked at technological change. [12:39] From the age of 17, Dan started looking for those copy-and-paste moments. He found them, over and over again. Spreadsheets improved our analysis. The internet improved our ability to look for information. AI improves our ability to juggle more data than before. [12:58] All those things were coming at a predictable cadence. It takes about five years for new technology to become part of the infrastructure. Dan realized that you have about five years to tackle something new before the next new thing comes at you. [13:21] People wait for the dust to settle. They don't start figuring out how to build this new thing into the way they work. You'll get passed by. You'll be working too slowly, and your customers will expect more of you. Or you'll do it too quickly, make mistakes, and create unnecessary risk. [13:44] Figuring out how to manage these five-year cycles of change became Dan's strength. [13:57] Dan will expound on his copy-and-paste moments in his November keynote. This was a preview. It was the moment that changed the way he thought about tools and technology, and their impact on the way we work. [14:23] Justin says Dan takes complex topics and makes them simple and useful for a non-technical audience. Dan says a lot of people are talking about AI now. [14:52] AI is an umbrella term that includes a lot of things. It's on the level of “math.” You don't say, “We're implementing math at work, right now.” Math is part of everything we do. [15:09] One of the things Dan helps people do is to start breaking AI down. Are we talking about a chat interface on top of our customer service knowledge base? Are we talking about a sophisticated AI image-recognition system to look at MRI scans? Those are different things. [15:29] They're both using AI, but as you're evaluating the risk of AI features, AI deployment, and AI use cases, it will be helpful to understand the difference between a chatbot, image recognition, and AI-based research. They all have different amounts of risk. [15:49] If you try to have a single AI policy that covers all those things, it will be challenging. That's how Dan helps to break it down. [16:14] Dan will have 60 minutes for his keynote. He will spend 45 minutes covering content he thinks is important for risk management professionals and about 15 minutes of open Q&A. He will also be around all day, if people want to talk to him in the hallway or at lunch. [16:44] Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [17:03] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [17:20] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [17:33] Let's Conclude Our Interview with ERM Conference Opening Keynote, Dan Chuparkoff! [17:53] Dan says the fundamental and most important thing to remember is that AI shouldn't make your decisions for you. Ask AI for 10 things that you should do, and you decide which one of those things is the right thing. You have a lot of things in your head that AI doesn't know. [18:20] You have things you remember from your first job, the things you remember your mother telling you when you were nine. Those things influence your decisions, and AI doesn't know any of them. Always use AI as a recommendation and make your own decisions. [18:43] Dan almost always says to give him 10 of whatever he is looking for. Some answers are too conservative, some are too risky, and some can work. No one is good enough at prompt engineering to put all the context in. Dan asks for choices and picks the one that feels right. [19:43] Why is there a gap between crafting an AI policy and putting it into practice? Some people are creating policies with a different level of understanding of what AI is capable of doing and what it is not. Sometimes, policies are just early in their maturity. [20:17] Three years from now, it will be a better policy that understands some of the discrepancies a little bit more, and that gap will start to close. [20:25] Some people have policies, and their people are ignoring them. When ChatGPT came out in November 2022, students started using it for homework. It became a part of their lives. They didn't stop using it when they went to work, regardless of the company policy. [21:14] There's a shadow AI use at a lot of organizations. The more your AI policy is crowdsourced, and you're asking your people what they need, what they want, and what they're doing already, the better your policy will match what's happening in your organization. It evolves. [21:44] Dan adds that email is already susceptible to IP leakage, but because of user training and judgment, people in the organization know what data to keep out of the email system. With training, people will learn what data to keep out of the AI system. [22:48] The best add-on to email, according to Dan, is sending calendar invites. Justin says the best add-on is scheduled send. He loves how people think he sends an email at 5:01. Dan says an AI tool, Fixer, will draft a reply to every message you get, and you can send or edit it, or not. [24:00] Dan foresees AI-powered email things that will be life-changing. Justin says Google will already generate a message for you if it's something simple. [24:37] Dan says before every keynote, he tries to get a deep understanding of the audience and what they care about. He goes through their website, watches videos, reads blogs and articles, and listens to podcasts. All those things influence the research and the content he brings. [25:04] What Dan will do for his keynote is dig into the ways AI is changing the work that risk management professionals are doing now and how that will continue to change over the near term. [25:15] Dan won't talk about 20 years from now, but about six months to three years from now, what that's going to look like, so that people can start anticipating the future and building a safe, risk-controlled future that they're trying to build. [25:38] I'm looking forward to it. You've been a wonderful guest. You've piqued the interest of a lot of our audience, and we hope they'll make it out to Seattle on November 17th, when you kick off the conference for us. [25:56] Dan looks forward to hanging out with everybody in Seattle. His parting advice is to tell AI, “Give me one thing every Monday that I should learn about AI.” Every week, you'll be a little smarter about AI. You don't have to do the things, but they're little nudges along your AI journey. [26:30] Special thanks again to Dan Chuparkoff for joining us here on RIMScast.

Chris and Corey are joined by Blackpearl Group's CTO, Sam Daish. In this episode, he's dousing us with the reality of why most sales AI tools are basically expensive cat toys. Blackpearl has built Bebop.AI, a tool that makes sense as an addition to a sales pro's tech stack. It could probably replace several nonsensical shiny AI tools they are currently batting around instead of making calls. Corey's firing questions about AI fatigue (because let's face it, we all have it), while Chris goes full mathematician on us with this brutal insight: sales reps are like cats chasing laser pointers with AI. Lots of movement, lots of fascination, but nobody's actually catching anything. You may wonder how this fits in with BeBop.ai. It will make more sense after you hear the origin story - they almost called it "Hot Pipe" until someone pointed out the, uh, alternative interpretations. Instead, they went with a full bebop jazz vibe in the function and tone because they wanted sales to feel like improvisation, not a pile of dated rigid playbooks. As the real kicker, Chris breaks down why most AI implementations fail: false negatives. You're not just calling the wrong people - you're missing the right ones entirely. And Sam's nodding along because BebopAI tackles this by making the entire Internet your database instead of some limited proprietary dataset. The feature that gets reps most excited? Not the fancy prospect data. It's the objection handling. Turns out confidence beats information every time. Join us for this episode, “The Laser Pointer Problem: Why your reps are chasing AI like distracted cats .” Action Items Suggested in This Episode: For Sales Leaders/CROs Audit your AI strategy focus - Are you trying to bring bottom performers up, or amplify your top performers? Chris argues the latter delivers exponentially better ROI Identify your "Jonti McLarens" - Find your top performers and give them 10% more time/better tools (equivalent to adding 10 middle-tier reps) Evaluate your current AI tools - Are they creating "laser pointer cat" behavior or getting reps to more conversations? For Sales Reps Test BeBop.ai's's dossier approach, with a special focus on the objection handling feature that receives the most positive feedback. Use AI for discovery prep, not avoidance - Read dossiers in the minutes before scheduled meetings when memory retention is highest. Ask "why" to AI responses - Sam emphasizes this helps uncover hallucinations and improves reasoning. For Sales Operations/Enablement Shift from proprietary databases to "Internet as database" tools - Evaluate platforms that can digest broader data sources Implement AI that works as "companion, not a replacement" - Focus on tools that enhance human expertise rather than substitute for it Measure false negatives, not just false positives - Track opportunities missed, not just wrong prospects contacted For Product/Marketing Teams Load your website into BebopAI - Sam says this simple step works really well for basic company understanding Document your go-to-market messaging - Feed it into AI tools for consistent, company-specific responses. Create objection handling libraries - The most requested feature, according to Sam's feedback. For Executives/Investors Recognize top salespeople as an innovation economy constraint - Chris's thesis: Elite sales performance limits how fast innovation spreads Budget for commission accelerators - Top performers using AI tools may exceed traditional quota expectations Rethink headcount-based scaling - Focus on amplifying existing top talent vs. adding middle-tier reps Immediate Next Steps Try the "Internet as database" approach - Ask AI tools open-ended questions like "find me customers for [your company]"

What if the most honest conversations people are having… aren't with each other, but with artificial intelligence?In this eye-opening episode, Craig dives into recent Harvard Business Review research revealing the top 10 use cases for AI—and the findings are both fascinating and deeply human. The #1 reason people are turning to AI? Therapy. Not spreadsheets. Not task management. Therapy. Closely followed by “organizing my life” and “finding purpose.”This shift points to something powerful: people are craving spaces where they can be open, reflective, and vulnerable—without fear of judgment. And AI, for all its limitations, offers exactly that.So what does this mean for leadership? For workplace culture? And most importantly, for trust?Craig unpacks the message behind this trend and offers a provocative challenge for leaders: If your people feel safer confiding in a machine than in you, what needs to change?You'll walk away with practical insights on:Why psychological safety is becoming a leadership imperativeHow to “listen like AI” to build deeper trust and connectionWhat empathy looks like in action—without overstepping or over fixingA powerful weekly challenge to shift from reactive to reflective leadershipThis episode is a wake-up call—and a call to action. In a world turning to AI for human connection, leaders who show up with empathy and presence have never been more important.
