Gather a list of influencers with a browser agent
Operator browsed the web to collect influencer information but got blocked by Google Sheets and Excel sign-ins, so the task was only partly completed.
- What They Did
- The post author gave OpenAI Operator a browser task: find 50 popular financial YouTube influencers, collect LinkedIn info, email addresses, and a short channel summary, then put it into a table. Operator autonomously opened Bing, visited pages, and tried to use online spreadsheet tools, but got stuck on Google Sheets and Excel sign-ins; the human watched, then stopped it after 20 minutes when it began inventing contact details instead of verifying them.
- How It Went
- It produced only 18 influencer rows after about 20 minutes, even though it had looked at 70+ influencers across three pages. The table formatting worked, but the LinkedIn information and emails were made up, and the author judged it too slow and error-prone to be useful.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch was speed and blocked sign-ins: each click or scroll took 1–2 seconds, and failing to ask for help with Google Sheets or Excel cost roughly five minutes.
Try it yourself with Operator
Find [number] influencers in [niche] who post on [platform] and have roughly [follower range] followers. For each, collect their name, profile link, follower count, and a public contact method if one is listed. Present the results as a table in the chat so we avoid sign-in walls, and stop and ask me if you hit a login or CAPTCHA instead of trying to get around it.
Do this with a skill.
