Have Comet gather Reddit pain points into NotebookLM
A newsletter writer used Comet to pull Reddit threads about browser frustrations into NotebookLM and expand the set automatically.
- What they did
- They gave Perplexity Comet a reusable instruction to look for Reddit discussions about problems people run into with traditional browsers. Comet saved the links in NotebookLM through Add Source, then used Discover to look for more closely related material.
- How it went
- The run finished in about 15 minutes and brought back more threads than they asked for, including 10 additional sources from Discover. The writer did not need to jump in while it was running.
- Tips
- This is a good fit when you want broad web coverage and do not already have a handpicked source list. If you already have a few trusted links, manual browsing may be the simpler option.
