Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Max Goh was looking for cold leads in startup directories, specifically companies that could benefit from Reddit marketing. He first had Comet, Perplexity's browser assistant, scrape ProductHunt one page at a time. He then had it spawn several agents to run the scraping jobs at the same time. The post shows this only in two GIFs and gives no prompts or setup details.

  2. How it went

    The post gives no numbers, lead counts or quality assessment. It shows the sequential scrape working and then the parallel version, and presents the parallel run as a way to scale up.

  3. Worth knowing

    ProductHunt's terms of service forbid automated data collection for commercial purposes, and the author warns against doing this commercially.

Example prompts

Try with Perplexity Comet
Go through [directory site, e.g. Product Hunt] and find [number] startups that [fit criteria, e.g. launched recently and could benefit from my service]. Collect company name, URL, a contact or founder link, and one line on why they're a fit. Present it as a table and stop; don't contact anyone.
