What they did
The poster chose Perplexity Comet, an AI browser they said runs on Playwright, rather than building the process in n8n. They gave it a niche to target, set the free plan as a limit, and told it to browse for founder information and write the findings into Google Sheets. The shared clip showed the agent doing the scrape directly.
How it went
It handled the basic workflow of collecting lead information and updating the spreadsheet. Commenters said this kind of browsing can be slow, heavy on tokens, and easy to burn through in free usage; the poster agreed it is best suited to one job at a time.
Tips
Keep the task narrow if you want a better chance of finishing before limits kick in. For bigger lead lists, plan for slower runs and tight usage caps.

Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet

Look through public websites for [number] businesses in [niche]. For each match, capture the founder’s name, the company name, the company site, and a business email that is publicly shown. Add each verified lead to my Google Sheet at [sheet link] as a new row with those fields. If any detail cannot be confirmed, leave that lead out instead of filling in a guess. Before you make any change that would submit, delete, or overwrite data, pause and show me the exact rows you want to add, then wait for my approval. Stop when you have [number] valid rows or when reliable sources run out, and report how many you added.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
