-AI WRITING AND CONTENT RESEARCH-
CHORD
(Not sponsored).
Chord is a free AI tool that gathers information for you.
I’ve started using it for content research very regularly.
You give it a topic.
It then browses the web looking through blog posts, discussion forums (eg. Reddit, Quora), and other sources.
Finally, it generates a 1-2 minute written summary of relevant research for your content.
Yep, it includes links to the sources it’s used too.
Here’s what sets it apart:
It looks for real opinions from regular people (eg. on forums) and uses these to guide its research.
It also considers whether these opinions are authentic, popular, and non-biased.
What I love about it is how it seems to focus on information from Reddit groups.
I use Reddit for content research all the time.
It’s a giant forum filled with the ideas, thoughts, and experiences of real people who have a genuine passion for the topics you’re creating content about.
OK, enough babble.
Let me show you how to get started with Chord.
Getting Started 👇️
1. Go to https://chord.pub/browse and create a free account.
2. Type your content topic idea into the search box.

3. Wait for the AI magic to generate a research summary for you.
I asked Chord to do some research for a blog post titled “Should I Go Full Time As A Blogger?”
Here’s part of what I got back (click to zoom in if you have to):
