00:00:00
perplexity has been releasing some
00:00:01
insanely helpful updates and today I am
00:00:03
really excited to share with you exactly
00:00:05
how you can put these into your workflow
00:00:07
immediately in the next few minutes
00:00:09
you're going to learn how to use
00:00:10
perplexity super powerful AI search on
00:00:12
your own files including using it to
00:00:15
switch between the Heavy Hitters like
00:00:16
Claude and gp4 but then I want to get
00:00:19
into how you can deeply control it and
00:00:21
automate many different processes with
00:00:23
its new instructions feature I'm even
00:00:25
going to show you how to turn your work
00:00:26
into a public blog post complete with
00:00:29
custom graphics with just one click
00:00:31
there's also a killer Chrome extension
00:00:33
but the part I'm probably most excited
00:00:35
about is the new API features that they
00:00:37
just release this is truly a game
00:00:39
changer that can open many doors to your
00:00:41
AI automations perplexity could be the
00:00:44
only AI tool that you need these days
00:00:46
and today I'm excited to show you
00:00:47
exactly why if you're new to perplexity
00:00:49
you can just go over to perplexity Ai
00:00:51
and log in up until releasing these new
00:00:53
features it's been primarily useful to
00:00:55
me as a search engine so while many
00:00:58
folks are using it for that hardly
00:01:00
anybody is getting the full potential
00:01:01
out of perplexity and that's what I want
00:01:03
to get into today starting with this
00:01:05
spaces feature right here so when we
00:01:07
create a new space these are very
00:01:08
similar to custom gpts and chat GPT or
00:01:12
Claud projects but it has this extra
00:01:15
ability of being able to search the
00:01:17
internet in a very very powerful way I
00:01:20
know that chat GPT can do that but I
00:01:22
think it pales in comparison to the way
00:01:24
that perplexity can do that in fact
00:01:27
perplexity is biggest advantage over
00:01:29
some of the other AI models is its
00:01:31
ability to go out and search different
00:01:33
pieces of information this is called rag
00:01:35
retrieval augmented generation which you
00:01:38
might hear around and it is really
00:01:40
powerful now to be able to use that on
00:01:42
your own files which I'm going to show
00:01:44
you here in a second I'm going to create
00:01:45
a space here all about cooking I love to
00:01:47
eat and I recently moved to a rural area
00:01:50
that is not near any real good
00:01:52
restaurant so it's all up to me here I'm
00:01:55
going to put in here cooking just
00:01:56
putting in a little description here and
00:01:58
then this is where you can pick a
00:02:00
different AI model that is only
00:02:01
available in the paid version custom
00:02:04
instructions go right in here so here
00:02:06
I'm going to start with some simple
00:02:07
instructions this is a very simple set
00:02:09
of instructions I'm adding in here we're
00:02:11
going to get to a really Advanced
00:02:12
version in just a second but here I'm
00:02:15
just saying the goal is to improve my
00:02:16
cooking techniques that focuses this
00:02:18
tool really just around that tasks okay
00:02:21
now we're in here and I want to upload
00:02:23
some of these files so you can upload
00:02:25
five files on the free plan it loves
00:02:28
PDFs apparently so here are some notes
00:02:31
on three different cooking books that I
00:02:33
have come to love these are not as large
00:02:36
as the full books if you're coming from
00:02:37
notebook LM you're used to uploading
00:02:39
full books unfortunately that won't work
00:02:42
inside of perplexity as those files tend
00:02:45
to be too large mainly I think because
00:02:47
of all the images and photos I think if
00:02:49
you found a PDF that didn't have images
00:02:52
and photos uh it it may fit under the 25
00:02:55
megabyte uh you know criteria there U
00:02:59
but you can always always use notebook
00:03:00
LM to create notes that you then upload
00:03:02
here so I've uploaded those PDFs so I'm
00:03:04
going to just ask you know what is the
00:03:06
overlap between these books and what's
00:03:09
really cool here is you can focus it on
00:03:10
different uh areas here so if you wanted
00:03:13
to just search the web you may want to
00:03:15
go out and gather information that you
00:03:16
can add to these files you can do that
00:03:18
way or you can do it on your files that
00:03:22
are specifically here your space files
00:03:24
these are the files that you upload you
00:03:26
can select both or one or the other
00:03:29
you'll need to click on this Pro feature
00:03:31
uh which you only have a certain amount
00:03:33
of pro uh searches per day in the free
00:03:37
plan that may be fine if you're just
00:03:38
using this to get started but if you're
00:03:40
going to become a power user you're
00:03:42
definitely going to want to upgrade to
00:03:43
the paid plan and this is now using its
00:03:46
powerful AI search abilities on your
00:03:49
files so you can think of loading any
00:03:52
sort of uh
00:03:53
documentation and being able to use uh
00:03:57
perplexity to go through that
00:03:59
information
00:04:00
and it adds the citations here to the
00:04:02
different files you may be asking
00:04:04
yourself if you use notebook LM why
00:04:06
can't I just use notebook LM for this
00:04:07
and the truth is there's a lot of
00:04:09
different overlap between these large
00:04:10
language models but there's something
00:04:12
very powerful about perplexity being
00:04:14
able to search the web and do all of
00:04:15
these different things especially
00:04:17
accessing these other large language
00:04:18
models uh in here it's sort of a Swiss
00:04:21
army knife of all of the best uh AI
00:04:24
tools out there all right so that was a
00:04:25
very basic use case for spaces now I
00:04:28
want to give you an advanced ened use
00:04:30
case this is a PPC Creator it's going to
00:04:32
walk through 16 different steps to
00:04:34
create an entire PPC campaign I'm
00:04:36
jumping into the cheat sheet here I make
00:04:38
a cheat sheet for every single video
00:04:40
that I create there's over a hundred in
00:04:41
there now these are all instantly
00:04:43
accessible to anybody who joins my
00:04:45
patreon and this one has these extensive
00:04:48
instructions for this PPC campaign
00:04:51
Creator I've got a few other example
00:04:53
instructions in here as well I'm just
00:04:55
going to copy and paste this you can see
00:04:56
all the different steps here uh that it
00:04:59
walks through when creating your PPC
00:05:02
campaign everything from generating
00:05:04
ideas through creating the ads through
00:05:06
creating landing pages and even uh a
00:05:10
video script there then I'm going to
00:05:11
copy and paste these instructions in
00:05:13
directly from the cheat sheet right in
00:05:15
here updating it and then the first
00:05:17
thing we need to do to kick off this
00:05:18
process to automatically create this PPC
00:05:21
campaign is to Simply upload some copy
00:05:24
I'm just going to grab the copy from my
00:05:26
website I'm doing a crl a contrl c and
00:05:29
I'm going to drop that right in here and
00:05:30
we're going to let it rip so it has
00:05:32
basically regurgitated that information
00:05:34
back to me and I'm going to just say
00:05:36
please proceed to The Next Step here it
00:05:38
starts to map out all the different ad
00:05:40
campaign ideas I just said number four
00:05:42
is the best please proceed starts to
00:05:45
create the ad copy and then all you need
00:05:47
to do is just say please proceed or
00:05:49
select a choice and it works through all
00:05:51
these different 16 steps of creating an
00:05:53
entire PPC campaign again I've got those
00:05:56
instructions in the cheat sheet I've
00:05:57
also got some instructions for LinkedIn
00:05:59
in campaign if you're interested in how
00:06:01
I come up with these instructions I'm
00:06:02
going to link to a video that explains
00:06:04
exactly how I do that now so go ahead
00:06:06
and check that out when you get a chance
00:06:08
now I'm jumping into a paid account so I
00:06:09
can show you all the different AI models
00:06:11
you have access to inside of here they
00:06:14
just added grock in the last 24 hours
00:06:16
when I was prepping for this video that
00:06:18
wasn't even in there so you can tell
00:06:19
they're going to be upgrading this very
00:06:21
consistently you've got gp4 which is
00:06:24
basically the you know standard Baseline
00:06:27
best AI model there you you got Claude
00:06:30
Sonet which is a killer model and these
00:06:32
all have different uh abilities to do
00:06:34
things better than others in addition to
00:06:36
that you've got access to these sonar
00:06:38
models which are the default perplexity
00:06:41
models which I believe is how they can
00:06:43
do such a great job of combing through
00:06:46
uh the internet at large and finding
00:06:48
great resources there I know there's a
00:06:50
lot of folks out there who are working
00:06:53
on um these different knowledge bases
00:06:55
and one pro tip you might want to think
00:06:57
about is chunking them down to a
00:06:59
reasonable size I think it'd be much
00:07:01
easier for the AI model to uh go through
00:07:04
you know 10 different documents that are
00:07:06
maybe 10 pages each versus one 100 page
00:07:09
document so think about organizing them
00:07:12
in that structure and then also you may
00:07:13
want to add a table of contents inside
00:07:16
of these instructions letting perplexity
00:07:18
know hey here are the documents you have
00:07:20
access to here's a brief breakdown of
00:07:22
what's inside those documents if you
00:07:24
want to go even one step farther you can
00:07:26
put a table of contents inside each one
00:07:28
of those doc documents pointing the
00:07:30
large language model to all the
00:07:32
different sections and in this way
00:07:33
you're really helping the large language
00:07:35
model find the most pertinent
00:07:36
information at whenever you're
00:07:38
requesting it all right so I've gone
00:07:40
back and forth with this large language
00:07:41
model about cooking quite a bit here and
00:07:45
asked it to dive into some details about
00:07:47
different cookbooks and different
00:07:49
resources out there and now I want to
00:07:51
create a web page that I can share with
00:07:53
the world so you can do that in one
00:07:55
click right up here with this convert to
00:07:57
page feature so let's click this it's
00:07:59
going to go through and it's going to
00:08:02
create this awesome web page let me show
00:08:05
you all the things we can do with this
00:08:06
you can see it's even building a
00:08:07
navigation structure here all right so
00:08:10
we've got all these different sections
00:08:11
but let's say we want to get a little
00:08:13
more details on this particular section
00:08:16
we can go right in here click this edit
00:08:18
on this section click it over to
00:08:20
detailed and regenerate just that
00:08:23
section giving more details there
00:08:26
awesome now let's say we want to add
00:08:27
some images here add some media it's
00:08:29
finding some images here that's not
00:08:32
great let's change it out now we've got
00:08:34
an image there you can do all sorts of
00:08:36
stuff to adjust the layout you can add
00:08:39
sections down here and you can see these
00:08:41
different layout options as well at the
00:08:43
top we can even generate our own image
00:08:46
so let's go in here to generate image
00:08:48
and we can select from these different
00:08:50
options I'm going to select painting and
00:08:52
you can see it has generated a perfectly
00:08:54
terrible painting here trying to make
00:08:57
cookbooks can't do texts you know so
00:09:00
let's see what we can do here we're
00:09:02
going to change this out we're going to
00:09:03
generate another image and now we're
00:09:05
going to give it our own prompt I like
00:09:07
to give it a very simple prompt that has
00:09:10
been my hack for image Creation with AI
00:09:13
I'm going to put the style in here as a
00:09:14
high-res photograph with cinematic
00:09:16
lighting and the subject here is cooking
00:09:19
Insanity see what we get and there we go
00:09:22
much better you can adjust where it
00:09:24
lives and reposition it but I got to say
00:09:27
mid journey is my go-to for images so I
00:09:29
had a little bit of fun with this I want
00:09:30
to show you what I did in mid journey I
00:09:32
used that same prompt and it came up
00:09:34
with this that's a little bit more of
00:09:36
the cooking Insanity I'm looking for but
00:09:38
it wasn't quite wide enough I didn't
00:09:40
want to crop it so you can use these
00:09:42
panning features down here to widen it
00:09:44
which is exactly what I did so this is
00:09:46
my final version here I feel like this
00:09:48
represents me in the kitchen more than
00:09:50
any of the other images you can then
00:09:53
share this very easily the link is
00:09:55
copied here and then anybody can view
00:09:57
that link it looks just like this when
00:09:59
you share it you can see it's got all
00:10:01
this information as well as a really
00:10:03
cool little table of contents if you're
00:10:05
doing something long uh it links to all
00:10:08
the different sources here as well I
00:10:10
found that these Pages can be incredibly
00:10:12
useful I recently had a family member
00:10:14
who was uh struggling with some health
00:10:17
issues I heard about a treatment for
00:10:19
that and I knew that you know she's a
00:10:21
little bit older she wasn't going to
00:10:22
Google all that stuff or put that
00:10:24
research together I went in and with a
00:10:26
few prompts created a page that had
00:10:28
everything I wanted to illustrate to her
00:10:31
uh right there in that page and shared
00:10:33
that information with her so she didn't
00:10:35
have to do all that research another
00:10:37
thing is when I get questions over and
00:10:39
over the same questions in my YouTube
00:10:41
comments I've just created pages that go
00:10:43
in deep detail to answer those questions
00:10:45
and now I just pop that link in and can
00:10:47
use it like an FAQ very easily and
00:10:49
quickly that way next this video
00:10:51
wouldn't be complete if I didn't talk a
00:10:52
little bit about this Focus feature this
00:10:54
feature is so important I created a
00:10:56
whole other video about it I'm going to
00:10:57
link to that now but real quickly when
00:11:00
you're using perplexity basically most
00:11:02
people are using it to go out and search
00:11:04
the web which it's awesome for but there
00:11:06
are times when you only want to search
00:11:08
different parts of the web you don't
00:11:10
want to know what the internet in
00:11:11
general is saying you want to focus it
00:11:13
in on specific areas depending on what
00:11:16
you are researching and that's where
00:11:17
this Focus feature becomes super helpful
00:11:19
because it's set by default to search
00:11:21
the entire web which is probably what
00:11:23
you're used to but let's say you're
00:11:24
considering taking some supplements for
00:11:26
that you might want to look into the
00:11:28
academic Focus that just pulls specific
00:11:31
research about that supplement if it's
00:11:33
good or bad you don't want to know what
00:11:35
every Fitness Guru or you know wannabe
00:11:38
influencer is saying about that
00:11:40
supplement you want to know what the
00:11:41
science says what the data says that's
00:11:43
where this academic Focus can be very
00:11:45
helpful if you're doing any sort of
00:11:47
Industry Research into your specific
00:11:49
industry that's where you can find
00:11:51
really that Source highquality
00:11:53
information but this social Focus
00:11:55
feature is probably even more important
00:11:57
than that I use this feature nearly
00:11:59
every day and what this social Focus
00:12:01
feature does is it goes out and searches
00:12:03
Reddit specifically for information now
00:12:07
Reddit is a lot of different things but
00:12:09
one thing it is very good at is for
00:12:11
honest feedback about purchases and
00:12:14
while all the other different review
00:12:15
sites seem to be overrun with Spam and
00:12:17
scams I find I get some pretty good
00:12:20
input when I use this social Focus
00:12:22
feature I use this for everything from
00:12:23
when I'm trying a new restaurant or when
00:12:26
I am buying something big or trying some
00:12:29
new software I want to get a feel for
00:12:31
what people on Reddit are saying when I
00:12:33
use this feature and I get the response
00:12:35
there are mixed reviews I think maybe I
00:12:38
need to find something else and when a
00:12:39
search is returned saying there are
00:12:41
positive reviews that means almost
00:12:43
everybody on Reddit is excited about
00:12:45
that particular restaurant or software
00:12:47
tool or whatever it is that's a very
00:12:49
good signal that you're going to be
00:12:51
happy with whatever that purchase
00:12:52
decision might be again I've got a whole
00:12:54
other video about this I'm going to link
00:12:55
to that in the description as well all
00:12:57
right next I want to show you perplexity
00:12:59
Chrome extension this thing is awesome
00:13:01
so everything we've done up till now has
00:13:03
been inside of perplexity but let's say
00:13:05
we're just browsing the web and we want
00:13:06
to access perplexity without you know
00:13:08
changing tabs and copying and paste
00:13:11
that's where this perplexity Chrome
00:13:12
extension is awesome check this out I'm
00:13:14
here on a Wikipedia page and I'm
00:13:17
clicking in here and we can focus this
00:13:19
on do we want perplexity to search the
00:13:22
entire internet so maybe you're reading
00:13:23
something here and you have a question
00:13:25
that you want to go out and do extra
00:13:26
research for do we want to just focus it
00:13:28
on this domain Maybe Wikipedia or this
00:13:31
page in particular so I'm going to
00:13:33
select this page I'm going to say what
00:13:34
are some practical ways I can put this
00:13:36
to use and it is going through this page
00:13:38
in particular and it is giving me
00:13:40
basically exercises that I can go
00:13:43
through to uh put this to use super cool
00:13:47
you can copy and paste that with a
00:13:48
little clipboard right here you can grab
00:13:51
a link to this thread here here's what
00:13:53
that looks like you can convert that
00:13:55
into a page or you can share just that
00:13:57
thread as is you can also summarize what
00:13:59
you're looking at here but I have
00:14:01
stopped using AI for summaries because I
00:14:03
feel like it glosses over the stuff that
00:14:05
I really need to know and just gives me
00:14:07
some boring Bland uh piece of
00:14:10
information that makes me feel like I've
00:14:12
learned something when I actually
00:14:13
haven't a pro tip that I like to use is
00:14:16
asking it instead say what are some of
00:14:18
the nuances here that might help me
00:14:21
understand this in a deeper way so
00:14:23
having it pull up the nuances it's
00:14:24
almost the reverse of a summary can
00:14:26
really help you get the meat and potato
00:14:29
goes out of whatever you're looking at
00:14:31
now I want to get to the feature that
00:14:32
I'm most excited about this is using
00:14:34
perplexity search abilities in the API
00:14:37
format this really puts any of our more
00:14:39
sophisticated automations on steroids
00:14:42
I've done some videos on make.com I'm
00:14:44
going to link to one of those in the
00:14:45
description this is the tool that I like
00:14:47
to use the most for these automations
00:14:49
that connect different tools let me show
00:14:51
you really quick how I'm using
00:14:53
perplexity to do this inside of make
00:14:55
we've got all these different scenarios
00:14:56
these are my different automations this
00:14:58
is the most B basic one here that I want
00:15:00
to show you this little module here is
00:15:03
basically just the prompt this variable
00:15:05
is set to did the Celtics win last night
00:15:08
and then it's connected to perplexity
00:15:10
which goes out and searches if the
00:15:11
Celtics won last night let's run this
00:15:13
see what we get there we go click right
00:15:15
in here and by opening all this up we
00:15:17
can see the different places that it
00:15:19
searched and that this was a trick
00:15:21
question because the Celtics did not
00:15:23
play last night gives us a little bit of
00:15:25
more information about what happened
00:15:27
there but this opens up so many
00:15:28
different use cases because all of the
00:15:30
automations up to this point have really
00:15:32
relied on the training data that is in
00:15:34
the AI models and if you wanted to get
00:15:37
upto-date real time information in there
00:15:39
you would have to uh copy and paste that
00:15:42
in manually so here's how we're going to
00:15:44
take this to the next level I've got
00:15:45
another prompt here that basically says
00:15:47
were there any advancements in AI last
00:15:49
week this hits perplexity and dumps this
00:15:52
out into a Google doc I have this set to
00:15:55
run on Mondays so I can just stay ahead
00:15:58
of whatever any these large Labs have
00:16:00
done over the week let me show you how
00:16:02
this one works it's running that inside
00:16:04
of perplexity now it's creating that
00:16:05
Google doc and Bam there you go that is
00:16:08
the Google Doc right there that
00:16:10
showcases everything that happened last
00:16:12
week that gets generated every Monday so
00:16:14
I'm not missing anything another great
00:16:16
use for this is social media so I've got
00:16:18
this to do my social media research the
00:16:20
prompt here is looking for trending
00:16:21
topics for software developers on social
00:16:24
media again that hits perplexity and
00:16:27
creates a Google Google doc here's what
00:16:29
that Google doc looks like I'm going to
00:16:31
make these two scenarios available to my
00:16:33
patreon supporters as well these are
00:16:35
super easy to implement all you got to
00:16:37
do is download these files they're
00:16:39
called blueprint files and then you
00:16:40
upload them like this I'll show you so
00:16:42
once you log into make there's a ton you
00:16:43
can do inside of make for free you just
00:16:45
create a new scenario you go right down
00:16:47
here to more and then you import a
00:16:49
blueprint here's that AI research
00:16:50
blueprint that's going to be available
00:16:52
to all my patreons just click that click
00:16:54
Open click save boom now you have that
00:16:57
all for yourself there you can update
00:17:00
this prompt however you want you can
00:17:02
attach it to notion or any of your other
00:17:03
different tools there's a ton you can do
00:17:05
with this uh I do have other videos all
00:17:08
about make.com I'm going to put a link
00:17:10
to one of those in the description that
00:17:12
also includes a bunch of other scenarios
00:17:14
for my patreon supporters as well but
00:17:17
think about it that is just the tip of
00:17:18
the iceberg of what you can do with this
00:17:20
perplexity API functionality CU you can
00:17:23
now start all of your automations with
00:17:24
hey go out and find the latest and
00:17:26
greatest of XYZ and then you can put it
00:17:29
through all these different steps
00:17:30
crafting social media exactly to be in
00:17:32
your tone and voice uh connecting it to
00:17:35
other different AIS and other different
00:17:37
Tools in your Tech stack there is a ton
00:17:39
you can do with this again those
00:17:41
blueprints will be available to my
00:17:43
patreon supporters along with the cheat
00:17:45
sheet to this video anybody who joins my
00:17:47
patreon gets access to not only that but
00:17:49
over a hundred other cheat sheets just
00:17:52
like it the patreon supporters are
00:17:54
really what make this channel happen
00:17:56
again I hope you dive into these
00:17:57
features I hope you put them to use and
00:17:59
I hope you check out that Focus feature
00:18:01
like I said I've got an entire video
00:18:03
dedicated all to that Focus feature
00:18:06
there is a link to that right here check
00:18:08
that video out there is so much you can
00:18:10
do with that that's the next step in
00:18:12
your AI Mastery I will see you on that
00:18:15
video
