How to Incorporate Files from Cometrics into third-party utilities such as Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot
- Download the csv file below, or create a custom csv by searching on Cometrics.io. In order to create a downloadable csv, just make any number of searches to get to a result set you are happy with. In the example below, I'm searching for all LinkedIn content from McDonald's executives. Then, 'export page results'. A full, pre-downloaded file is available here.

- Export csv and then incorporate into third-party utilities such as Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot. Ensure data is normalized.

- Establish outliers and begin thinking about your narrative. Iterate as you wish....

- Subject to how you wish to produce the report, work within your existing AI app or export your findings to a third party like Figma.
- Some samples of how to make the data tell the story for you. Variables that you can change include the executive name, the theme, frequency, comparative executives....you can be as creative as you need to be.
- Let the AI app do the dirty work for you - think strategically. Why are McDonald's executives talking about Cyber Security? What slowly developing themes are the ones to watch? How are my employees talking? Who is the most engaging executive in my company? Why?


- Below is a sample report / dashboard for the "QSR Sector" to show possible use cases for the content.
