WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.140 Ever feel like you're just buried under this 00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:04.519 avalanche of internet information, searching 00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:06.639 for that one thing you need in a massive digital 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:09.560 haystack? Oh, totally. And then you finally get 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:12.439 an answer from an AI and you're thinking, hang 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.480 on, is this even true? Did it just make that 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.199 up? Right. Today, we're going to try and cut 00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:18.679 through some of that noise. Yeah, let's do it. 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.500 Welcome to the deep dive. Today, we're exploring 00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:24.140 a tool that honestly promises to change how you 00:00:24.140 --> 00:00:27.100 find and use information. Maybe think of it. 00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:29.859 less like a search engine, and more like your 00:00:29.859 --> 00:00:32.460 own personal research assistant. We are taking 00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.820 a deep dive into Perplexity AI. And this really 00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:38.039 isn't just another chat bot. It's superpower. 00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:43.740 Every answer it gives is backed by real verifiable 00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:46.280 sources, like actual receipts. So we'll unpack 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:48.119 what makes Perplexity different, look at its 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.200 key features, everything from its intelligent 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.619 search to creating interactive dashboards. And 00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:55.520 we'll give you some pro tips for mastering it. 00:00:55.579 --> 00:00:59.219 Our mission today basically give you the shortcut 00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:02.039 to being genuinely well -informed. OK, let's 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.780 unpack this core idea then. A lot of people compare 00:01:05.780 --> 00:01:10.140 perplexity to maybe a mix of Google and chat 00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:13.879 GPT, but what really sets it apart fundamentally. 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.599 OK, here's where it gets really interesting. 00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:19.040 Unlike some traditional AI chatbots that Well, 00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:21.120 sometimes they hallucinate. Which means they 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:24.120 just make stuff up, right? Exactly. The AI makes 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.500 up information that isn't real, but says it really 00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:32.450 confidently. aims to avoid that because it backs 00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:34.849 up every answer with sources. You see where it 00:01:34.849 --> 00:01:37.109 got the info. It scans dozens, sometimes even 00:01:37.109 --> 00:01:39.430 hundreds of websites, academic papers, social 00:01:39.430 --> 00:01:41.790 media. Then it gives you a clear answer, but 00:01:41.790 --> 00:01:44.510 also, critically, a clickable list of those sources. 00:01:44.609 --> 00:01:46.469 So you can check the facts yourself. No more 00:01:46.469 --> 00:01:48.430 second -guessing if the AI is just being confidently 00:01:48.430 --> 00:01:51.109 wrong. It kind of shifts the dynamic. So fundamentally, 00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:53.450 what's the biggest game changer perplexity brings 00:01:53.450 --> 00:01:56.450 to just finding information? It provides verifiable 00:01:56.450 --> 00:01:58.530 answers by linking directly to its information 00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:01.409 sources. factor. When you land on Perplexity's 00:02:01.409 --> 00:02:03.670 homepage it looks familiar, you know, quite clean, 00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:06.450 but underneath that calm surface there's a lot 00:02:06.450 --> 00:02:09.169 of power packed in. Exactly. Right below the 00:02:09.169 --> 00:02:11.009 question box you've got your main options laid 00:02:11.009 --> 00:02:14.310 out. There's search for, you know, quick answers, 00:02:15.150 --> 00:02:17.150 research for more complex topics that need a 00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:20.430 full analysis like deep dive, and labs for actually 00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:22.469 building small interactive tools. And you can 00:02:22.469 --> 00:02:25.110 even choose the AI brain that answers your question, 00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:28.610 which is... What exactly? The AI model, yeah. 00:02:28.889 --> 00:02:31.229 That just means the specific artificial intelligence 00:02:31.229 --> 00:02:33.490 system used to generate the response. Yeah. You 00:02:33.490 --> 00:02:36.050 get to pick. Like who's answering? Yeah. It's 00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:38.409 like having a whole team of expert AI minds in 00:02:38.409 --> 00:02:40.370 one place. You can pick from top models like 00:02:40.370 --> 00:02:43.090 Perplexities on Sonar, maybe Claude from Anthropic, 00:02:43.550 --> 00:02:47.789 Google's Gemini, OpenAI's GPT -4, even XAI's 00:02:47.789 --> 00:02:51.080 Grok sometimes. Wow. OK. That's quite a roster. 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.219 And you can filter your search sources, too, 00:02:53.259 --> 00:02:54.800 right? You can tell it to search the whole web 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.699 or narrow it down. Totally. Narrow it down to 00:02:56.699 --> 00:02:59.400 just academic papers or discussions on places 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.300 like Reddit or forums or even finance documents. 00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:05.860 It's incredibly precise control. Why is having 00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:07.819 all those different AI models in these specific 00:03:07.819 --> 00:03:10.240 source filters, why is that so valuable for someone 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.639 using it? Well, it offers tailored answers in 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.379 depth. really enhancing your research accuracy. 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.780 Let's dive into the intelligence search, then. 00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:20.879 It's probably its most basic function, but still 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.300 really powerful. Way better than just a standard 00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:25.400 search engine. Oh, yeah. You just typed your 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.080 question in natural language, pretty much like 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.699 you're talking to a friend. You can let perplexity 00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:32.680 figure out the best AI model, or you can choose 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.620 one. Pick your sources. And I like this part. 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.680 It shows you the sources it's scanning while 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.800 it's thinking. There's a transparency there. 00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:42.219 It's great, yeah. So imagine you're launching, 00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:46.539 say, a new organic coffee brand in Vietnam targeting 00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:50.539 office workers. OK. Suggest a detailed digital 00:03:50.539 --> 00:03:52.879 marketing plan for the first three months, including 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.939 channels, content ideas, and KPIs with links 00:03:55.939 --> 00:03:58.650 to related articles. Pretty complex query. And 00:03:58.650 --> 00:04:00.590 what makes that powerful is it's not just hitting 00:04:00.590 --> 00:04:04.250 one source. It checks maybe 10, 20 blogs, reports. 00:04:04.550 --> 00:04:07.129 It's synthesizing. Right. And it's always up 00:04:07.129 --> 00:04:08.949 to date, which is a big deal compared to some 00:04:08.949 --> 00:04:11.050 older AI models that had those knowledge cutoff 00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:13.469 dates. You're getting current info. And every 00:04:13.469 --> 00:04:15.590 bit of information has that little source number 00:04:15.590 --> 00:04:18.269 you click to verify. Yep. And it suggests follow 00:04:18.269 --> 00:04:20.269 up questions, too, so it keeps the research flowing. 00:04:20.910 --> 00:04:23.709 It anticipates what you might ask next. Pro tip 00:04:23.709 --> 00:04:26.629 here. Using the discussion source filter. That's 00:04:26.629 --> 00:04:29.939 gold. especially if you want to find real opinions, 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.680 like what actual consumers are saying, not just 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.540 what marketing articles claim they're saying. 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.600 Pretty tip. You get the raw feedback. So what's 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.019 the key advantage then of this intelligent search 00:04:40.019 --> 00:04:42.579 over just using Google or something? It provides 00:04:42.579 --> 00:04:45.920 comprehensive, real -time sourced answers, which 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.259 significantly reduces bias. Okay, but sometimes 00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:51.100 a quick answer isn't enough, right? You need 00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:53.980 a full analysis, a proper deep dive. That's where 00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:56.420 the deep research feature comes in. This is where, 00:04:56.420 --> 00:04:58.839 honestly, the magic happens for big tasks. So 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.079 you click the research button instead of search, 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.699 put in your complex topic, maybe choose specific 00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:06.019 sources like academic if you're writing a paper. 00:05:06.339 --> 00:05:09.740 Exactly. Then you wait maybe two or three minutes 00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:15.060 and perplexity analyzes dozens of sources, sometimes 00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:18.459 over 50, and creates this detailed, well -structured 00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:22.459 report. Whoa. Yeah. Seriously, just pause and 00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:24.800 think about the computational power needed to 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.459 analyze dozens of different sources, pull out 00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:30.040 the key info, synthesize it, and structure it 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.819 coherently in like minutes. It's like having 00:05:32.819 --> 00:05:35.160 a whole research team on demand. Pretty much. 00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:37.980 Just for you. So an example, maybe an urban planner 00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:41.259 asks, analyze the impact of remote work on urban 00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:43.939 development in major Southeast Asian cities after 00:05:43.939 --> 00:05:47.139 2025. asking it to cover real estate, transport, 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.519 satellite cities, using economic reports, sociological 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.920 studies. Exactly. And you get back this structured 00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.959 report, analysis drawing from maybe 50 plus sources, 00:05:56.699 --> 00:05:59.379 specific data points, maybe even charts. But 00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:01.740 here's the kicker. You can turn this research 00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:04.639 into a page. What does that mean, a page? You 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.680 click convert to page, and boom, your report 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.600 becomes this really nice looking structured web 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.310 article. You could edit it, add images. Publish 00:06:11.310 --> 00:06:13.709 it with a public link or just export it as a 00:06:13.709 --> 00:06:17.410 PDF. So no web design needed? None. Instant professional 00:06:17.410 --> 00:06:19.610 output from your research. How does that deep 00:06:19.610 --> 00:06:22.430 research uniquely benefit someone working on, 00:06:22.569 --> 00:06:25.430 say, complex long -term projects? It provides 00:06:25.430 --> 00:06:27.709 comprehensive structured reports that can be 00:06:27.709 --> 00:06:30.829 easily published as web pages. Okay, moving on 00:06:30.829 --> 00:06:33.680 to labs. This seems to take perplexity beyond 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.480 just research into actual creation, building 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.040 small apps or interactive dashboards. Yeah, it's 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.079 really cool. It's like stacking Lego blocks of 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.839 data to build something useful. For example, 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.620 you could prompt it. Create an interactive dashboard 00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:49.720 comparing three jobs, software engineer, data 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.339 analyst, product manager. show salary by experience, 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.459 skills needed, career outlook. And the output 00:06:56.459 --> 00:06:58.860 isn't just text, right? It's interactive. Often, 00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:01.800 yeah. Interactive dashboards with filters, maybe 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.519 small focused applications, or analyses with 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:07.000 actionable insights. And crucially, it's all 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.339 built on real data from those trusted sources 00:07:09.339 --> 00:07:11.899 it found. So it's grounded in reality, not just 00:07:11.899 --> 00:07:14.379 AI invention. Exactly. Makes the applications 00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:16.939 much more accurate than purely AI generated stuff. 00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:19.920 So what's the core benefit of using perplexity 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:23.089 labs for something like data analysis. It creates 00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:26.949 interactive data -driven applications based on 00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:29.939 verified sources. OK, let's talk about the Discover 00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:32.660 tab. I actually use this quite a bit. A lot of 00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:34.579 users find this more useful than traditional 00:07:34.579 --> 00:07:36.959 news sites. It's kind of like a smart newspaper 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.040 built just for you. How does that work? It looks 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.699 at your history. Yeah. Based on your search history 00:07:41.699 --> 00:07:44.100 and interests, you tell it. Perplexity suggests 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:46.519 news and topics it thinks you'll genuinely care 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.959 about. And instead of just one article, you get 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:51.639 a summary combining info from lots of different 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.600 newspapers and websites. Exactly. which inherently 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.139 helps reduce bias because you're getting multiple 00:07:57.139 --> 00:07:59.259 viewpoints synthesized together. It gives you 00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:02.459 a broader picture. And if a summary grabs you, 00:08:02.579 --> 00:08:04.379 you can just ask follow -up questions right there 00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:07.800 to dig deeper. Yep, instantly. And you can personalize 00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:10.160 it heavily. Add companies you follow, specific 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.860 locations, sports teams, fine -tune it to your 00:08:12.860 --> 00:08:14.920 job. And the mobile app experience for Discover 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:17.699 is good. Really good, yeah. Super convenient 00:08:17.699 --> 00:08:19.199 for staying updated when you're on the move. 00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:22.079 You get that balanced view easily. So how does 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.040 the Discover tab provide a more balanced news 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.620 experience compared to just reading one site. 00:08:27.939 --> 00:08:30.980 It summarizes news from many sources, offering 00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:34.120 diverse viewpoints to reduce bias. Let's talk 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.149 spaces. These sound like a powerful way to organize 00:08:37.149 --> 00:08:40.129 your workflow, like specialized AI assistance. 00:08:40.309 --> 00:08:43.210 Yeah, exactly. Think of them like custom GPTs 00:08:43.210 --> 00:08:46.269 and chat GPT, or projects in Claude if you've 00:08:46.269 --> 00:08:49.169 used those. Perplexity has some pre -built ones, 00:08:49.529 --> 00:08:51.950 but the real power is creating your own custom 00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:55.450 spaces. And you teach the AI its role using custom 00:08:55.450 --> 00:08:57.830 instructions, a system prompt. That's right. 00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.539 You give it a system prompt that defines its 00:08:59.539 --> 00:09:01.759 personality, its rules, what it should focus 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.059 on. This makes sure every conversation within 00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:06.799 that space stays on topic and follows your guidelines. 00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:09.639 So you could create, say, a sustainable blog 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.639 space. Perfect example. Instruct it. You are 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.759 a creative content assistant for a blog about 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.139 sustainable living. Answers should be practical, 00:09:17.419 --> 00:09:20.279 well researched, aimed at beginners. Always provide 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.519 actionable tips. You know, honestly, I still 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:24.679 wrestle sometimes with getting those system prompts 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.350 just right for really specific tasks. It takes 00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:31.309 tweaking. But man, once you nail that prompt 00:09:31.309 --> 00:09:33.970 in a space, the efficiency boost is incredible. 00:09:34.269 --> 00:09:36.750 And then every question you ask in that specific 00:09:36.750 --> 00:09:39.490 space article ideas, stats on plastic pollution, 00:09:39.789 --> 00:09:41.809 it remembers the context and follows those rules. 00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:44.029 Exactly.

Why is creating a custom space 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.620 more efficient than just doing a regular search 00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:55.700 each time? It maintains context and follows specific 00:09:55.700 --> 00:09:58.840 instructions for focused, ongoing projects. Okay, 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.879 automated research updates.

So 00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:14.000 for a student... This could be huge. Like, a 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.820 marketing student schedules a weekly query. Summarize 00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:19.120 the most creative and successful ad campaigns 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.139 globally from the past week.

And finally, it emails 00:12:59.309 --> 00:13:02.129 the finished podcast file to you. All automatic. 00:13:02.230 --> 00:13:04.610 All automatic.
