Reddit is a treasure trove of information. No matter your interests, thereβs probably a subreddit waiting for you. You can catch up on all the latest news, find new memes, interact with some of your favorite celebrities, and more. Itβs so useful, in fact, that Google has started pushing Reddit results more in response to people appending βRedditβ to their search result queries.
But navigating it, especially as a newbie, can be a bit daunting. The homepage is populated with all sorts of genres, and different subreddits have different rules for who can join and contribute. Fortunately, like with every problem, thereβs a maker working on fixing it. One of the proposed solutions is GigaBrain.
GigaBrain is an AI tool similar in purpose to Perplexity β whose goal is to bring order to the chaos of Google search, but instead of Google, its focus is Reddit. When you boot it up, youβll be presented with an interface similar to that of other AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc. You can ask your own questions like βWhatβs the standing desk in 2024?β or you can pick from a number of examples that GigaBrain generates.
Once you hit enter, the AI will scour Reddit, analyzing hundreds of millions, if not billions, of discussions across the platform. From there, it will source and extract the most relevant posts and comments in the hopes of answering your question.
It also comes with a pretty handy Chrome Extension. Say youβre doing some online shopping, and youβre on the fence about splurging on a product. Instead of googling reviews for it, you can click the extension icon, and GigaBrain will scour Reddit for user reviews.
As part of the launch, the GigaBrain team is offering $10 off the pro plan if you want to give it a shot.
