The workflow, in chat
Everything you did with saved audiences and filters, you ask for.

Questions
What happened to GummySearch?
GummySearch shut down in late 2025. Its site and audience-research tooling went offline, leaving its Reddit-research workflow without a home.

What does BuzzSearch have that GummySearch didn't?
TikTok. The same chat that reads subreddits reads TikTok videos and their comment sections, so audience research covers both places your market talks. TikTok trends
