Done withPerplexity Comet
- What they did
- The author used Perplexity's Comet browser agent and gave it plain-language prompts for each task. For prospecting, it found e-commerce companies showing growth signals, built a contact list, and saved outreach drafts to Gmail. For SEO research, it searched Reddit for high-intent questions from the last 7 days and emailed a summary of pain points. It also audited a checkout flow by following a process doc.
- How it went
- The source gives no measured results, only example prompts and general praise after a few weeks of use. It doesn't show output quality, error rates, or how much human review the drafts needed.
- Worth knowing
- The source is a prompt list, not a worked case, so expect to test and refine each prompt and review the Gmail drafts before sending.
