Every popular LinkedIn post in your space is a room full of people who just raised their hand about a problem. Most of them are not your buyers. A few are exactly who you want. This use case finds those few: the Research Agent collects everyone who engaged with a post, checks them against your ideal customer, and saves the fits with the post as their reason.
Why post engagement works
Cold outreach guesses at interest. Engagement shows it. A VP of Sales who commented on a post about ramping new SDRs is thinking about that problem this week. A first message that continues the conversation feels natural instead of intrusive.
What the agent does
It runs an Apify actor on the post you give it, through your account, and collects the people who reacted or commented. It checks each person against your ideal customer, keeps their comment when they left one, and saves the fits to the list you named. The comment becomes the reason on each person, so the Writer can open with it.
Set it up
- Connect Apify.
- Start from the Research Agent template and tick Apify.
- Run it with the post link and a list name.
- Hand the list to the Writer for a first line that picks up the conversation.
Good practice
- Pick posts about the problem you solve, not posts about your product category in general.
- Commenters are warmer than people who only reacted. Contact them first.
- Never say you “saw them on a post you were watching”. Talk about the topic, and let the conversation flow from there.

Sign in once. Every action is marked Reads or Changes data, and changes wait for your approval.
Research Agent asks before it acts
You choose how much it does alone. Reading and research always run straight away; anything that sends, spends or changes another app waits as a card you approve, unless you allowed it.
- Review each stepIt asks before every step, unless you allowed that action to run on its own.
- Review changesIt reads and researches freely, then brings every change back to you.
- Run routine workSaving people, tagging and preparing drafts run on their own. Sending, paid actions and other apps still wait.

Your own posts, your team’s, or a public post in your space. The agent reads public engagement through your Apify account.
Why is engagement a good signal?
Someone who reacts to a post about a problem has just told you it matters to them. That makes a relevant opener easy.
What should the first message say?
Mention the post, not the fact that you tracked them. Keep it a conversation, not a pitch.
When does it run?
Whenever you click Run now, or ask Penny in chat. If it becomes a weekly habit, put it on a schedule instead and it runs on its own.
Which apps does it use, and do I need accounts?
It uses Apify, with one-click sign-in. Each app works with your own access, so the agent only sees what your account can see, and anything an app charges for is billed by that app.
Can the agent act without my approval?
Reading and research run straight away. Routine work such as saving people to a list or tagging can run alone if you allow it. Sending, paid actions and changes in other apps wait for your yes unless you explicitly allowed that action.
What does a run cost?
Each step uses AI credits like a Penny question, and you set the most steps and credits one run may use. A run pauses at either limit until you continue it. Paid actions such as enrichment, and charges from connected apps, are separate.
Can I change what the agent does?
Yes, in plain words. Edit the brief, attach a skill such as your own playbook, tick or untick apps and change what needs approval. The next run follows the new instructions, and finished work stays saved.
Which agent runs it, and what pairs well with it?
The Research Agent, Prosyo’s ai prospecting agent. Start from its template and use this request as the brief. It pairs well with the Qualifier Agent and the Writer Agent, which can pick up its results through your lists and inbox.
How do I see what the agent did?
Every run has a page that says what it did in plain words, with the credits each step used and anything waiting for you. Results show as formatted answers, tables or diagrams, and you get a notification when a run finishes or needs your approval.
Which Prosyo plan do I need?
