It’s so useful, in fact, that [Google has started pushing Reddit results]( more in response to people appending “Reddit” 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, there’s a maker working on fixing it. One of the proposed solutions is [GigaBrain.]( [GigaBrain]( is an AI tool similar in purpose to [Perplexity]( — 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, you’ll be presented with an interface similar to that of other AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc. You can ask your own questions like “What’s the standing desk in 2024?” 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 you’re doing some online shopping, and you’re 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. [Check it out]( Sponsored By “Best speech-to-text technology in the market.
