They used Comet to gather sales leads, pull SEO questions from Reddit, and walk through a checkout review.

Done with Perplexity Comet· Intermediate

What they did
The author ran a set of plain-English jobs in Perplexity Comet. In one pass, the agent looked for e-commerce companies showing growth signs, assembled a contact list, and saved outreach text as Gmail drafts. In another, it scanned Reddit for recent high-intent questions and emailed back a summary of recurring pain points. They also had it inspect a checkout flow by following a process document.
How it went
The material does not report measured wins, response rates, or draft quality. It mainly shows example prompts and notes that the drafts should be checked by a person before anything is sent.
Tips
Treat the agent as a first-pass researcher, not a final sender. Review and edit every Gmail draft before sending, and expect to tune the prompts for your own targets and time window.
