Getting Started with Perplexity: The Answer Engine

Get started with Perplexity from zero, the AI that answers your question and hands you the sources, so you can check what it says instead of just believing it. Learn what an answer engine is, how to ask and read a sourced answer, the three dials worth knowing, whether you ever need to pay, and when to reach for it over a chatbot. No experience needed.

What your people will learn.

  • AI

A total beginner's tour of Perplexity, the AI answer engine. You'll open it with zero intimidation, ask a real question in plain language, read a sourced answer and check it in one click, learn the three dials worth knowing (search speed, where it looks, and which model), figure out whether you ever need to pay, and get the simple rule for when to reach for it over a chatbot, all built around the one thing that makes an answer engine different: every answer comes with its receipts, so you never have to just believe it.
