## Search viral trending news

To search viral trending news, use the context "Perplexity".

This calls Perplexity.AI, which uses the internet to research your topic.

Then, choose a news article you want to turn into posts and feed it in as context.

### Step 1. Use Perplexity.AI to find viral trending news

1. Add context "Perplexity"
2. Input this prompt:

```
Find viral trending news about [TOPIC] this past week. 
Prioritize news sources based in US or Europe. 
Prioritize the latest, most recent news. 
For each news item, include:
- summary
- article URL
- publish date
```

This is an example starting point.

Feel free to use any prompt.

### Step 2. Add news article as context

Review the output from Perplexity.

Choose a news article to turn into posts.

Copy the the article URL.

Add it as new "Article" context:

### Step 3. Create posts

Select an existing prompt from your prompt library. Or, type any prompt you want.

Finally, click "Generate" to turn the viral trending news article into social media posts!

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.contouron.com/tips-and-tricks/search-viral-trending-news.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
