Migrate FreshBooks account data to Google Sheets
As described in the source, a commenter said they used Comet to move five years of account data from FreshBooks into Google Sheets because FreshBooks’ exports were inadequate. They said Comet’s AI assistant copied the data and verified it on its own while they worked on other tasks, and they also used it to navigate support on complex sites they did not know well. They described it as very helpful for people who live and work online.

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 140 by interest), and one of 10 involving Perplexity Comet.

Help me migrate FreshBooks account data to Google Sheets. 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.
