Follow a LinkedIn account and leave a comment
An agent used LinkedIn access to follow a CEO, find a chosen post, and add a comment in one pass.
- What they did
- A user gave the agent access to their LinkedIn account. It followed the Perplexity CEO, found a specific post, and wrote a comment beneath it. It completed the whole sequence on its own in a single attempt, showing its reasoning before each step.
- How it went
- The task worked on the first try after an upgrade that improved reliability and lifted internal test scores by 23%. It carried out the follow-and-comment flow without needing another attempt.
- Tips
- For account actions like this, have the agent show you the target profile, the post, and the drafted comment before it posts. Keep a human approval step before anything that can affect your account or public presence.

Wait for my approval before you follow, post, or make any other irreversible change, then carry out the approved actions.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
