How to Create and Use Perplexity Personal AI Chatbot Agents! #95

hi my name is Josh evilsizer today I'm going to show you how to use perplexity collections as agents are you watching the Right video well do you use perplexity would you like to save time would you like to improve your prompts then yes questions answered in today's video perplexity agents or collections what are they how do you use them how do you create them how do you edit them I'll provide some examples and then we'll end with the most important question why should you care let's jump right into perplexity doai here we are what are perplexity agents they are reusable refinable quick access prompts saved as collections think of them as pre- prompted chatbots springloaded to respond to whatever it is you need or do over and over again they allow you to perfect your prompts and save time through streamlined chatbot interactions but enough talking let's let's make one shall we so I click on library to move to move to the place where I need to create a collection and here we are and you'll see up at the top Collections and so I'm going to click on the plus sign to create our first collection and it's a bit of experiment so we're going to see what we get today on live YouTube recording it's not live you're you're watching it recorded whatever so here's the title uh we're going to title it Spanish proficiency agent so give it a meaningful title that helps you when you're looking at it what is this thing more meaningful is the icon give it a emoji that resonates with you because again the point here is to be able to create or use these very quickly and so visuals that resonate with you that make sense hey this is what I use this for right make sure your visual makes sense is all I'm trying to say there description all right this is where we can get very helpful for future us so sometimes we'll create tools and a couple days will go by and we'll forget how to use them or exactly how to use them so there's a lot of space in the Des this description area so I could have just left it at Spanish conversationalist right here but I went ahead and added steps telling future me hey these are the steps that you should follow to use this agent and you can see that says type Ola hit enter so I'm just helping out future me hey this hey hey dummy this is how this chatbot works all right so the prompt in this instance we're going to try and create a conversationalist that helps us um improve or increase or adhere to our current level of Spanish speaking proficiency and so what have I written here my name is Josh when I type Ola you respond with a question in Spanish that someone proficient in Spanish at the inter agency language round table or ilr level one could understand so speak to me in beginner Spanish I will then attempt to answer your question in Spanish you must then respond by critiquing my response using English this time and providing feedback in English to help me improve my Spanish proficiency I think that's it so this is our prompt so we're going to type Ola hit enter and and then it's going to do this if we've done this correctly or if if what we've done will actually work I'm going to leave it sharable you do have the option to leave it secret right here if you wanted to I share these a lot so I just often leave them sharable going to go ahead and crit crit hit the create button and you can see right over here our Spanish proficiency AI chatbot agent has been created so we're going to click on it just to kind of show you how it works here it is and I'm calling this The Prompt prompt because we already have a prompt and I'll show you where it's at so over here on the right hand side we have this helpful description Spanish conversationalist and again the steps hey Josh type Ola hit enter and then the AI prompt that has been applied is what I just wrote out and it's right here and we're we're going to go ahead and execute so hola enter let's see what happens all right Kostas all right so I need to respond in good Spanish I'm getting the feedback that I requested it worked uh I'm just going to be fully transparent with you iterations one two and three did not work this is iteration five uh so four and five have worked uh in any event uh it just goes to prove that um if iterating on your prompts which is what I did did to arrive at this this prompt that works it proves the point of why I'm creating these things anyhow enough padding myself on the back we're going to go ahead and move into how we edit these and some other examples uh so use I've kind of showed how to create and use use at the same time here create went over that and then edit so if I wanted to edit this agent I just again library and then the collection and at the very top these three dots right here edit collection and then all the fields that I filled out earlier are right here uh ready to be edited so it's it's pretty straightforward and if I wanted to delete it same thing delete collection so there you go there's the Soup To Nuts and now I'm going to go over some examples so if you got what you need have a nice day if you want to see some examples hang out all right so the first example we're going to use here is another simple one and I call it the Al Roker and if you're old like me you'll this will resonate and the prompt prompt is the word high and so I type the word high in here and Al Roker is going to give me the weather hello there Josh today in Columbus the skies have decided to put on a bit of a show with clouds performing their best dance moves across the Horizon expect a cozy range blah blah blah blah pause your screen and read it if you'd like to uh ended with a great quote by Henry Ward beeer why did this happen well here's what my prompt looks like so we click on library and we click on the aloker prompt and then we can read the AI prompt applied which is my name is Josh evilsizer I live in Columbus Ohio when I enter hello or high respond with the weather forecast for today the high and low temperatures and the next day that I'm likely to see Sunshine because I live in Columbus Ohio and it's wintertime provide this information in a fun and Whimsical manner and with a famous quote that is related to all the preceding information so that's why you saw what you saw and again just like all the other agents that I've created or showed you thus far uh I gave future Josh some instructions to REM to remind me how to use this so I call it weather and wisdom and then type High hit enter to make it work and that's what we did all right so now we're going to take a step forward into a little bit more of an advanced prompt sorry agent and this one and I keep moving I'll just stay over here for a minute uh video brainstorming so you may have seen me use an example like this before with Bard now Gemini uh similar but it works just a little bit better here and I'll show you why video brainstorming okay so the description generate a video generate video ideas based on a given topic and the instructions from past me to Future me here is enter topic hit enter everything else you see there is a cheat sheet for this videos so just ignore that all right so we're going to enter a topic and then hit enter and I've not shown you the AI prompt that would be helpful um so this is rather lengthy um the gist here is take on the Persona and I'll just read it quickly and I will let you know all the prompts I've used here they're in the Google Doc you saw at the beginning of the video which is linked in the video description below take on the Persona of an efficiency focused productivity expert enus and Enthusiast who through the creation of YouTube videos enjoys teaching others how to employ Simple Technology processes and habits to maximize efficiency and Effectiveness and make life a little or a lot easier whenever possible your videos focus on helping people use technology and processes to complete knowledge work related tasks most efficiently and effectively so it's a little bit about me and my Approach then the structure of the video which is the what is it how does it work the so what with descriptions about all of those and then your role me telling the AI a agent or or chatbot rather Your Role so your role is to produce an outline using the script formula from above using the app and any Associated processes techniques or habits that I and we can't read it because the screen is zoomed into to much provide to you so there you go it's a big prompt and the whole point here is I can come back and refine this over time to get it dialed in to give me exactly the results that I need and I can continue to reuse it over and over again and we'll show you how that works so we've got this thing teed up I've got a prompt for it here it is the first prompt is perplexity collections as quick access prompts so kind of meta of course and we hit enter and see what it gives us I need help give me some ideas what do you got all right so here's the what is it here's the how does it work and I'm often most interested in the examples that it's going to give me some real word examples these can often be very helpful sometimes they're not at all and what's really cool here is when all this is said and done we can use the rewrite function to get a different answer from a different chat box unfortunately this is only available in Pro mode and so as soon as this is done providing this example I'll show you how the rewrite function works for us and since this is taking man this really comprehensive this time all right I think we're almost at the end there we go if I didn't like this I could just jump in here and move to the rewrite function so the default is co-pilot I'm going to go smaller here and with Pro I have access to experimental gp4 Claude and Gemini Pro so I could ask it to rewrite hopefully you get the idea I just select one of those and it's going to rewrite this answer uh using one of those different chatbots which is really cool or or I guess what I want to also make sure I have shared with you the whole point one of the whole points of this is that we can continue to reuse the same prompt over and over again without bumping into any concerns related to tokens or context window so you see here I clicked library and then I come over here back to video brainstorming and I can start a new and then if we scroll down we can see the last thread that I was on so I can either start a new here or I can click any of the last threads and I can simply select the edit query function and if I didn't like the way this answer or I didn't like the answer that was provided here so I asked it perplexity collections as quick access prompts I could tweak that question to say perplexity collections as prompts to reuse and refine like it didn't pick up on what I was trying to trying to do and then I hit enter and of course I'm going to get a a Rewritten thread uh based on this new prompt I'm not going to wait for this to go through its whole Spiel there um what I also want to highlight when I click on the agent or collection and I click on one of these threads down here up here I have the opportunity to rename that so if I wanted to save it I could call this um maybe the one I liked uh click anywhere or enter and it saves it and so now it's over here accessible in the library and you can move right to that answer each time all right so I hit the rewrite function and the edit query function and I talked about just starting over as it relates to reusing the same prompt over and over again I want to give you one more example let's say you are a business or data analyst and you're dealing with Statistics metrics you kind of let's say you're you're generally you have a lot of data sets and you approach them in a similar way over and over again this is this is this is this is this example all right so I'm just going to read this stuff because it gets a little bit meaty um but here it is so initial descriptive statistics on the variables and here is the description initial descriptive statistics on the variables and then in parenthesis mean median min max quantiles and a visualization of the distributions of key variables uh and then so the steps reminding me are upload the CSV hit enter uh and then we're going to use the experimental model and I'm going to focus on political iCal leanings so here we go we're going to upload a CSV CSV file it's got to be a CSV here it is attach there it is so this is Brewery data by state and their political leanings and so like I said I want to focus on if I didn't have something for it to focus on I could just call it Brewery data and because we have to type something right it's the prompt because we've already prompted it down here which I didn't cover so we'll do that now provide the following initial descriptive statistics on the variables including mean median min max quantiles and any other statistics that would assist to better understand this data set and the second piece a visual visualization of the distributions of key variables the so what here is again I analyze data all all day long I'm making this up and I do the same three step steps when I get a data set and so by plugging these in as agents all I have to do is upload this CSV file enter what I want it to focus on if I want it to focus at all or just give it a name and then hit enter now it by default it's going to give me GP a result from gp4 and so as soon this as soon as this is done we're going to pretend um that the experimental model gives us results that we like better so you can see here gp4 is the default and so in the rewrite function I just come to the experimental and you can see here it would be a little tedious to read through the stuff that it's giving us but this has tended to be provide better results and so there you go dealing with data hopefully you can see how a agent could save you time to start parsing the data in ways that maybe you are used to chopping it up very quickly when you begin with a data set in any event three hopefully different enough examples to help you see how a I almost said B agent a perplexity agent or collection uh helps you use and reuse quick access prompts and save time uh reuse and reuse and refine to get Superior results all right as I I promised before uh why should you care or the why should you use a perplexity collection I lost my my spot on my keyboard sorry save time by streamlining your chatbot interactions and reusing refining and perfecting your most often-used prompts to get better and better results so anytime you find yourself rewriting a prompt you've written at least once before or taking the time to craft a really great prompt pause copy it and save it as a collection why well it's just like a bridge build it once and benefit forever thank you for watching if I have inspired you to try this please let me know in the comments down below of course please don't forget link goodness in the description down below please like subscribe share this with somebody else that might find it useful or or enjoy it as always if you leave questions
