Simple searches and urls out of OpenPerplex without the tab work
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the OpenPerplex simple searches, does the 3-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the simple search. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the OpenPerplex afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what OpenPerplex exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 3 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can simple search, query a from URL and get a website screenshot, and work across the simple searches, urls and website screenshots.
The OpenPerplex API stops at OpenPerplex. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Does it read the simple searches or ask you for them?
All 3 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can simple search, query a from URL and get a website screenshot, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from OpenPerplex's documentation.
The simple searches are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the urls. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of OpenPerplex admin becomes a queue you review.
- Simple Search
- Query From URL
- Get Website Screenshot
It can simple search. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
OpenPerplex exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives OpenPerplex in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a simple search, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a simple search in OpenPerplex touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
What does the recurring simple searches pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the OpenPerplex simple searches pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the OpenPerplex simple searches sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
