Use case overview

Comet scanned LinkedIn posts through her logged-in account, pulled names and links, and drafted outreach notes for review in under a minute.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Joanna Stern, researching a book on AI taking over, told the Comet sidebar assistant to find LinkedIn posts from people laid off from customer service jobs because of AI, then draft notes to them. It scanned posts and comments, pulled names and links, and wrote drafts in the sidebar. She could have it send them by turning on screenshot mode on the LinkedIn pages. She chose to edit and approve everything herself.

  2. How it went

    In under a minute it returned a few names and links with draft messages ready to review. ChatGPT Agent Mode found similar leads, but its virtual browser can't use her own logged-in accounts.

  3. Worth knowing

    Comet needed the $200-a-month Perplexity Max plan or a waitlist spot at the time, and Stern says it has its own privacy issues.
