Overview
Perplexity Comet Assistant got a major upgrade yesterday.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: Use Perplexity Comet to automate LinkedIn interactions, specifically following a target executive, locating a designated post, and posting a comment. The agent navigates the interface and executes these steps autonomously. Human involvement is not explicitly detailed in the source, but manual verification of the agent's reasoning and final output is recommended before execution.
Reported result
The source reports that the agent completed the LinkedIn task in one shot, with the author noting improved reliability and a 23% performance increase in internal tests. However, no independent metrics or long-term success rates are provided. A measurable acceptance check would be to verify that the comment appears correctly on the intended post without requiring manual correction.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The 23% performance improvement is an internal metric from the vendor, not an independent benchmark. LinkedIn's terms of service may restrict automated actions, posing a risk of account suspension. The source does not specify error handling for failed logins or missing posts. Human approval is critical before allowing the agent to post publicly.
Try it
Act as a LinkedIn automation assistant using Perplexity Comet. My goal is to engage with a specific executive's content. [replaceable inputs: Target LinkedIn Profile URL, Specific Post URL or Keyword, Draft Comment Text]. First, perform a dry run: navigate to the target profile, locate the post, and draft the comment, but do not submit. Show me the screenshot of the drafted comment and the post context for my approval. If I approve, execute the follow and comment actions. If the post is not found or login fails, stop and report the error. Do not proceed without my explicit confirmation of the draft.
