Use Comet to clean up X follows carefully

A user let Comet manage their X follows, and it unfollowed everyone before starting to follow accounts back.

Done with Perplexity Comet· Intermediate· Sep 2026

What they did
@keyrunnftart gave Perplexity Comet access to their X account and asked it to handle follow changes. The agent unfollowed the full list of accounts they were following, then moved on to following others back on its own. The user only realized what happened after the fact.
How it went
Every followed account was removed, including the account owned by the person who reported it. The agent then began adding follows again, but no total count or final outcome was given.
Tips
Treat account access as sensitive and require a review step before any follow or unfollow action. Ask the agent to pause and wait for approval before it changes anything on your social accounts.

Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet

Review my X following list and identify accounts to unfollow based on [your criteria]. Also identify recent followers or relevant accounts to follow back based on [your criteria]. First, show me both lists with a brief reason for each account, then stop and wait for my approval. Do not unfollow, follow, or change anything until I confirm. After approval, make no more than [number] changes, then report exactly what you changed and what remains pending.

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