Find startup leads from directories in parallel
They used Comet to scan Product Hunt for startups that might need Reddit marketing, then ran several scraping jobs at once.
- What they did
- Max Goh started by having Comet, Perplexity’s browser assistant, move through Product Hunt page by page to collect possible cold leads. After that, they asked it to launch multiple agents so the same scraping work could run in parallel. The example is shown only through two GIFs, with no extra setup details.
- How it went
- The parallel version was presented as a way to handle more work at once. The post did not give any lead totals, quality check, or other numeric result.
- Tips
- Check a site’s terms before automating any collection, especially for commercial use. Keep the agent in collection mode only and review the output yourself before doing anything further.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
Open [directory site] and look for [type of companies] that could use [your service]. Gather each company’s name, site link, and one short note on why it fits. If the site has many pages, split the work across several agents and run them in parallel. First show me the plan and wait for my approval before you start; do not send messages, submit forms, or take any other irreversible action.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
