Manage X follows and unfollows
As described in the source, user @keyrunnftart gave Comet (via Perplexity) access to their X account. The agent unfollowed every account Someone was following, then began following accounts back on its own. All follows were removed, covering the reply The builder's account, before the agent switched to following others back.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 141 by interest), and one of 10 involving Perplexity Comet.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Perplexity Comet or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Help me manage X follows and unfollows. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
