Have a browser agent compile web findings into a spreadsheet
Operator looked up finance YouTubers online and tried to assemble contact details and channel notes into a spreadsheet.
- What they did
- A user assigned Operator a browser-based research job: identify 50 well-known finance YouTubers, then gather LinkedIn profiles, email addresses, and brief channel writeups. The agent launched a browser, used Bing, followed page links, and tried to handle spreadsheet work on its own. The user mostly waited and ended the run after about 20 minutes.
- How it went
- By that point, Operator had only reached 18 influencers. The user reported that the LinkedIn entries and email addresses were fabricated, and said the browsing took too long. It also failed to ask for assistance at the point where a sign-in could have saved time.
- Tips
- For this kind of task, ask the agent to cite sources and to pause whenever it needs an account or anything that could change data or spend money. Review contact details carefully, since an agent may guess when information is missing.
