Google is incorporating Reddit threads into its search results pages to provide insights from real people. This move is in response to users appending 'Reddit' to their search queries to find more reliable information. GigaBrain, a tool similar to Perplexity, helps users find the best comments and communities on Reddit in a clean interface. It also allows users to see Redditors' opinions on products on Amazon.

One of the many ways Google has been desperately trying to maintain the usefulness of its increasingly shoddy core search product is by stuffing Reddit threads into as many search result pages as possible -- a reaction, one supposes, to the way that users have responded to Google Search's decline by affixing the word ' Reddit ' to their search queries.

Do that, of course, and you zero in on insights from real people, as opposed to whatever garbage the Google Search algorithm decides to throw at you. People do this also because Reddit itself is arguably a bit of a mess for the average person to sift through when they're trying to find information -- whether they're looking for the best this, the latest news about that, or what real people are saying about, for example, products the user wants to buy. Fortunately, there's a much simpler and, more importantly, cleaner way to find what you're looking for on Reddit from among all the insightful posts and comments on the site, and it's a tool called GigaBrain. Similar to the way the hot new AI-based search tool Perplexity brings order to the chaos of Google Search, GigaBrain not only helps you quickly find the best comments and communities on Reddit in a clean and easy-to-use interface. You can also click on the GigaBrain tab after you install it on your computer to see what Redditors think about a product you're looking at on Amazo
