AI Bulk Generators: ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity & Gemini Complete Guide (2025)

This is a hands-on guide from real usage—not official documentation rewrites. The goal is simple: help you reliably batch 50–500 high-quality answers with structured output.

What "Bulk Q&A" Really Means

Many people think bulk means "run lots of stuff at once." Actually, the key is upfront planning—you need to figure out prompts, retry logic, pacing, and export format before hitting run. Once that's locked in, you just let it go and do other things. I usually handle emails or join meetings while batches run. Efficiency gains aren't from "AI being fast"—they're from not having to watch it.

Four Platforms: Real Experience & Comparison

My approach: For research tasks I go straight to Perplexity (nothing else is as reliable for citations). For tables or lots of fields, Gemini. ChatGPT for creative variants—easiest. Grok only when I need "what happened this week." Sometimes I mix them in one project—ChatGPT for ideas, then Perplexity for evidence.

Quick Start: 3 Steps for Your First Batch Run

1. Prepare question list: Write one question per line in a text file or spreadsheet. Start with 10 for testing.
2. Choose platform: Need citations → Perplexity; need tables → Gemini; creative generation → ChatGPT; trending topics → Grok.
3. Launch batch:
   • Install the browser extension for your chosen platform
   • Copy-paste your question list
   • Enable Temporary Chat (recommended)
   • Click start, extension will auto-execute sequentially
   • Wait for completion, export JSON (pausable/resumable anytime)

Usage Tips & Best Practices

• Small batch testing: Start with 10 questions to validate prompt effectiveness before scaling up.
• Enable Temporary Chat: Recommended for batch tasks to avoid cluttering account history.
• Avoid peak hours: If you hit rate limits, pause 3-5 minutes or run during off-peak times.
• Retry failures: Extension automatically marks failed items; you can re-run just those questions.
• Export promptly: Download JSON immediately after completion to avoid data loss from browser crashes.

Crash Stories & Fixes

• Platform rate limit alerts: Pause 3-5 min then continue; avoid large batches during peak hours.
• Perplexity missing sources: Narrow question scope, or rewrite as "list top N with sources/year/site name."
• Gemini field inconsistency: Reduce field count; add "output only these fields, no extras" in prompt; failed entries auto-go to retry queue.
• Long answers truncated: Request Markdown tables + bullet points; limit "explanatory text" to 2-3 sentences; split into multiple questions if needed.
• Unstable prompts: Test with 10 samples first, confirm output format is stable before scaling up.

Temporary Chat & Account Memory

• ChatGPT Temporary Chat: Conversations don't appear in history, don't use or update memory, not used for training; batch queries won't write to account history/memory.
• Gemini incognito mode: Good for sensitive topics or keeping batch runs isolated from regular history.
• Practice: Enable temporary chat by default for sensitive/large batches; locally redact before exporting and archiving in batches.

Standard JSON Export Structure (Excerpt)

{
  "exportTime": "2025-11-06T10:49:21.119Z",
  "totalQuestions": 2,
  "completedQuestions": 2,
  "questions": [
    {
      "question": "Which electric vehicles rank in the top ten for driving range in 2025?",
      "status": "completed",
      "answer": "...Markdown/plain text...",
      "sources": [
        {"url": "https://example.com/a", "title": "Source A", "description": "...", "source_name": "SiteA"}
      ],
      "timestamp": 1762425859997,
      "completedAt": 1762425889999,
      "error": null
    }
  ]
}
        

• exportTime/totalQuestions/completedQuestions: Overall metadata.
• questions[].answer: Recommend requesting Markdown/tables; for secondary structuring, enforce internal JSON in prompt.
• questions[].sources: Perplexity includes sources/title/description/site_name; other platforms return empty arrays or omit.
• questions[].error: Error message; null when successful, useful for retries.

No Manual Copy-Paste: How It Works

Prepare questions in "one per line" format; extension sends sequentially with progress display. You can pause/resume anytime; failed items auto-enter retry queue. Entire process requires no manual babysitting or line-by-line copying.

Standard Export JSON Field Dictionary

• exportTime: Export timestamp (ISO string).
• totalQuestions/completedQuestions: Totals/completed count.
• questions[]: Results array.
• questions[].question: Original question (one per line).
• questions[].status: Run status, e.g., completed/failed.
• questions[].answer: Model response (Markdown/tables/plain text).
• questions[].sources[]: Citation sources (Perplexity available: url/title/description/source_name).
• questions[].timestamp/completedAt: Start/completion timestamps (ms).
• questions[].error: Error message; null on success (enables retries).

Input Examples (One Question Per Line, Copy-Paste Ready)

List long-tail keywords around [topic], sort by search volume descending, output one keyword per line.
Generate searchable comparison keyword phrases for [subject A] vs [subject B], focusing on main differences.
How do users in [region] localize search for [topic]? Provide common phrasings and typo variants.
What trending topics related to [topic] emerged in the last 30 days? Generate 3 long-tail keywords per topic.
Generate task-oriented keywords (tutorials/steps/checklists/pitfall guides) for [topic].

Post-Export Implementation (Sheets/BI)

• Import: Load standard JSON to sheets/database, expand questions[].
• Mapping: question → Question, answer → AnswerMD, sources[].url → SourceURL, completedAt → DoneAt, error → ErrorMsg.
• Filtering: Filter by status/error type/duration; failed items to retry queue.
• Distribution: Tag by topic/audience/scenario; route to content/publishing/monitoring dashboards.

JSON to Sheets/BI Field Mapping

• questions[].question → Question: Original question text.
• questions[].answer → AnswerMD: Markdown/table content, can be parsed again.
• questions[].sources[].url → SourceURL: Research citation links (e.g., Perplexity).
• timestamp/completedAt → Timestamps: For time-series analysis and duration stats.
• error → ErrorMsg: Failure reasons, useful for filtering and retries.

FAQ

• Can I run multiple batch tasks simultaneously? Not recommended. The extension can only handle one batch task per browser to avoid interference.
• What's the relationship between exported JSON and prompts? Exported JSON is an extension feature that auto-generates standard structure with exportTime, questions[], etc., unrelated to prompts. Only if you want questions[].answer content itself to be strict JSON, you need to specify "output JSON only, fixed fields, no extras" in prompts.
• Why do some questions fail? Common causes: platform rate limits, network timeouts, prompt-induced format errors. Failed items are auto-marked and can be retried separately.
• How do Perplexity sources differ from other platforms? Perplexity returns structured citations; ChatGPT (with web search) also supports citations but with more flexible format; Gemini and Grok typically don't return sources.
• When to enable Temporary Chat? Recommended by default for batch scenarios to avoid cluttering account history and AI memory with bulk Q&A.
• How to connect with BI? Use exported standard JSON as input, import to database or sheets, then set up field mapping and dashboards.
