Overview
Suggested workflow: Use Comet to identify Swiss companies affected by tariffs and summarize market discussions for an investment watchlist.
Workflow
The investor used Perplexity Comet to browse a stock watchlist and identify Swiss companies impacted by US tariffs. The agent aggregated Reddit discussions and market comments to generate a list with brief explanations. The user also attempted to instruct Comet to write these results directly into Google Sheets. The investor defined the research scope and manually verified the reliability of the gathered data.
Reported result
The source reports that a list of affected stocks with explanations was generated within minutes. However, there is no evidence confirming that the data was successfully written to Google Sheets or that the output quality was sufficient for investment decisions. The case notes that result depth can be insufficient, and final outputs require cross-verification against official filings.
Human role
The investor defines the research scope and verifies the reliability of the gathered data.
Limitations
This is a second-hand case report and does not prove successful table integration or investment returns. Prerequisites include access to Perplexity Comet (currently invite-only or for Max subscribers). Users must manually verify company names and news sources against official filings due to potential hallucinations or outdated data. The workflow's reliability for automated writing to external tools remains unproven.
Try it
Act as an investment research assistant. I will provide a list of [replaceable: stock tickers or company names] and a specific market event, such as [replaceable: tariff changes or earnings dates]. Use Perplexity Comet to browse these companies' recent news and Reddit discussions. Generate a summary table with columns: Company, Impact Description, Source Link, and Sentiment Score. Do not write to Google Sheets yet. First, perform a dry run on [replaceable: 3 sample companies] and output the results in Markdown format for my review. I will verify the accuracy against official filings. Only after I confirm the data quality should you attempt to format the output for CSV import. If Comet fails to access a source, mark it as 'Access Denied' rather than guessing. Ask me for clarification if the market event scope is ambiguous.
