Comet: lead researcher workflow

Browser agents like Comet can take over research work: open a profile, summarise the last 30 days of activity, suggest conversation starters. The workflow saves time, but has clear limits you should know.

Prompt

Task for the browser agent (Comet):

1. Open this LinkedIn profile: [URL]
2. Read the last 30 days of activity: own posts, comments, shares.
3. Summarise: 3 topics currently on this person's mind; their tone (analytical/personal/promotional); their activity frequency (e.g. several times a week, sporadic, as LinkedIn shows no times of day, only relative ages).
4. Suggest 2 conversation starters tied to CONCRETE statements (quote the passage).
5. Do NOT compose any message and do NOT take any actions on the page (no following, no liking, no connecting).

How to use this prompt

Open Comet (Perplexity) and start a new task.
Hit “Copy” above and paste the text in.
Replace every [square bracket] with your real details before you send.
Check the result. If it is too generic, just tell it what to change, e.g. “shorter, with one concrete number” or “give me variant 2 in my voice”.

The workflow around it

Insert the profile URL and let the agent READ only
Verify the summary. Agents occasionally hallucinate details
Take the angle, write and send the message yourself

Safety note

Medium risk: the agent browses with YOUR logged-in account. To LinkedIn this can look like unusual usage. Keep frequency low (single profiles, no lists), strictly read-only, no click actions. This is the wrong path for bulk research.
