Outcome

Comparing Comet and ChatGPT Atlas for LinkedIn job applications, the poster found Comet far better; with a detailed prompt and their resume, it applied to 20+ jobs and sent notes to HR.

This is the source's own number. We haven't measured it.

Perplexity Comet

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Apply to suitable jobs on LinkedIn using my resume.

Check with me first: Which roles and locations am I targeting?

What I'll give you:
- My resume
- The kinds of roles, locations and seniority I want
- My LinkedIn account (I'll log in myself)

Rules:
- Only apply to jobs that match what I described. Show me the list of matching jobs first and wait for my OK before applying.
- Use the details from my resume exactly. Don't make anything up.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- Show me any note to a recruiter before sending it.
- Keep a list of every application.

Output: A list of jobs applied to, with links and any notes sent.

You'll know it worked when: applications have gone out to jobs that actually fit, and I have a record of each.

Try this in:

ChatGPT Gemini Grok

Sends the Recreated prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.

The source used Perplexity Comet, which can take actions in a browser or app. These are general chat tools, so results may differ, and a normal chat may only give you a plan.

Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Here's a task I'd like your help with. Read it all the way through before you start.

Goal: Apply to suitable LinkedIn jobs using my resume, with my approval for each.

Quick check first: tell me if anything below is missing or unclear.

Inputs (fill in or confirm):
- Resume
- Target roles, locations, seniority
- Daily application limit
- Answers to common questions
- Salary expectations and work authorisation

Rules:
- Only consider jobs matching all my criteria; list them with links first.
- Use my resume and stored answers; never invent experience.
- Track each application in a sheet.
- Skip jobs requiring external portals unless I agree.
- Tailor the optional cover note to each job in 3 sentences using only resume facts.
- Skip roles requiring relocation unless I listed it.
- Stop at [N] applications per day.

Checkpoint: Show me each application before submitting.

If you get stuck: If a form asks something new, ask me. If a login, CAPTCHA or two-step code appears, stop and ask me to handle it; never guess or store passwords.

Verify before you finish: Confirm each submission page.

Output: Application tracker.

Done when: you only apply to good-fit jobs with accurate answers.

  • Track 186 applications, find missing keywords and review interview notes with Claude to land an offerEvidence: Article or interview

    Margareth Felicia Gono, an international student who needed a visa, started job hunting scattershot. Gono built an application tracker with Claude, had it pull the main skills and keywords from each job description and compare them with the résumé, and used it as a career coach, which led to three résumés for analytics, sales and marketing, and consulting. Where interviewers allowed recording, Gono ran sentiment analysis on the notes to see where Gono hesitated or used filler words. The tracker showed 186 applications, 44 cold outreaches, 19 interviews, six take-home assignments, three final rounds and one offer, as a senior associate at DoorDash.

  • Build a custom GPT as a job-search coach and go from 2 or 3 interviews to at least 7 and a PayPal offerEvidence: Article or interview

    Product manager Amar Saurabh, ex-Meta and TikTok, got only two or three interviews in the first two months of applying, and plain ChatGPT kept giving generic answers and asking for the résumé again. In about an hour and a half Saurabh built a custom GPT, 'PM job search advisor', loaded with their résumé, LinkedIn profile and project details. It drafted recruiter outreach (including 300-character connection requests), tailored the résumé to each job description and prepped each interview. Over two months Saurabh landed at least 7 interviews, with companies including Reddit, Intuit and PayPal, and took a lead product manager job at PayPal.
