Sales, Marketing & SupportDone with Perplexity Comet
Scrape startup directories for leads in parallel
The author used Comet to spawn multiple agents scraping ProductHunt for cold leads who could benefit from Reddit marketing.
- 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.
- 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.
- Worth Knowing
- ProductHunt's terms of service forbid automated data collection for commercial purposes, and the author warns against doing this commercially.
