Our take
Pick Nimbus if people who want Claude Code’s chat-plus-log UX on the web, will claim a founding spot at $0, and will paste their own Gemini / OpenAI / Anthropic key — not teams that need a billed Nimbus seat (none is printed) or a Chrome extension. Pick Perplexity Comet if people who already use Perplexity Search and want the same assistant inside the browser. Skip Perplexity Comet if teams that cannot leave Chrome,
