Research X, summarize videos, and draft presentation decks
They used Perplexity Comet to collect X material, condense YouTube transcripts, and turn both into presentation-ready notes.
- What they did
- They gave Perplexity Comet permission to work with X and YouTube. It scanned X for relevant posts, then pulled text from YouTube transcripts and turned those into summaries. The person then carried the content into Google Workspace and used Drive and Sheets to shape presentations.
- How it went
- The agent produced solid X research and YouTube summaries that were reused in decks. No metrics or problems were mentioned.
- Tips
- Start with a focused topic and a short set of accounts, keywords, or video links. Add a clear hold point so the agent pauses before any action that would send, delete, publish, or submit.
Try it yourself with Perplexity Comet
Take [topic] and gather useful material from X by reviewing posts and threads connected to [accounts or keywords]. Write a short plain-English summary of the main ideas. Then open these YouTube links: [links], read each transcript, and create five bullet points per video. After that, build a [number]-slide presentation outline with one title and a few key points for each slide. Pause and ask me to approve anything that would send, publish, delete, or submit content before doing it. Do not post anything.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
