Research & KnowledgeDone with Perplexity Comet
Find Reddit threads on reader pain points
A newsletter writer had Comet find Reddit threads on reader pain points, finding extra sources in about 15 minutes without intervention.
- What They Did
- The writer gave Comet a prompt template to collect Reddit threads about traditional-browser pain points and add them to NotebookLM. Comet added the URLs through NotebookLM's Add Source feature. It then used NotebookLM's Discover feature to find related sources. The writer didn't step in during the run.
- How It Went
- Comet found more Reddit threads than the writer asked for and added 10 more sources through Discover. It took about 15 minutes and needed no intervention.
- Worth Knowing
- The writer says to use Comet when you have no fixed sources and need broad web search, and to browse manually when you've already curated a few links.
