Perplexity AI Hacks You Need to Know (Claude3 Opus now available)

perplexity AI is a combination of search engine and AI assistant that all comes together this nice simple clean user experience but if you dig down a little bit beneath that Simplicity it's got some Advanced features that you really need to know about so in this video I'm going to go through all those features as well as how to use the new clae 3 model which apparently can beat gbd4 in most benchmarks let's start with a profile feature there's a setting in here that most people don't know about so keep in mind the profile is a global setting it's going to apply anytime you interact across the entire application this is going to guide the AI but I don't use it exactly the way they suggest what I'm using it for is more business research and productivity use cases so I just put in here structure responses and concise bullet points and I find it actually really helps a lot so you'll see later on when I get some responses it likes to just put them in really succinct bullet points which is how I like the data coming back but the cool thing is it's actually if you look at the top right here it's got this pause button and if you pause this it's not going to it's not going to use this profile information anymore it's going to just use the local information you have inside your Collections but'll show you in a second usually dated day I'll just keep it active and then when I want to do some more specialized research I'll pause it and then overwrite it in the collection let's move next to collections cuz they're really powerful and they're great for organization let's just say add a new collection here you can think of these kind of like an AI agent because it does a very specific task very well so let's call this one SEO article generator and give it an emoji and then actually the important part is really the AI prompt because it's going to take this AI prompt and injected into every kind of interaction we have with this collection this one I'm going to say you are a marketing expert specializing in SEO articles include optimized titles metad description and H2S then we can just use this collection by just saying give me an SEO outline for beginner's guide to yoga so let's say we have a yoga studio and we want to have this article that's kind of like a beginner's guide to yoga that could bring new customers in so because we selected the proarch it's going to ask us for kind of a follow-up question what we're trying to do here if you want this article more focused on weight loss or stress release or flexibility you can put that in here I'm just going to say skip for now is producing this really good article that's really SEO optimized with all the essential yoga poses for beginners benefits of yoga practice and the way it's coming up with everything here is it's using the search engine part of it to come up with sources for all this so if you go back up to the top here you see these are all the sources and that's kind of bringing the data in and then AI is actually transforming into this nice article and a cool feature is if you click on the three dots at the bottom of the article and say view sources there's any of these sources you don't want influencing your article you can actually just remove them from here so let's say we didn't want this one about the 10 yoga poses for weight loss we could just check that and say remove now it's going to rewrite the article excluding that source so the content will be different based on what sources you have as input those are actually really powerful feature and how you can really f- tune what you're looking for and go deep by reading through the sources and then taking out the ones you don't want one thing you might run into using the default settings is sometimes the information it comes back with the sources it comes back with are just other content on the internet that's already marketing material so you're kind of trying to take a copy of a copy and that's where I find this Focus button actually is really powerful so you click on this it's actually going to let you narrow down where you're looking for your content so you could just have it searching academic papers for the sources or the computational knowledge Engine with Wolfram Alpha but the three I use the most are writing YouTube and Reddit and what writing is is you can think of this basically chat jpt without any web searching so all the knowledge is just contained to the model you're using but you can also use this with claw 3 which I'll show you in a second but the other ones are YouTube and Reddit and I like to use Reddit a lot because it tends to give you more just organic kind of content what just people are talking about naturally it's not taking sources from marketing materials taking sources from real people's threads so now we selected Reddit let's just run that again and we see now our sources are totally different and we can actually go through and look at them and see what people are saying so I think using the Reddit and the YouTube's focus makes it a little bit more authentic what you're getting back another really cool thing is if you take the YouTube Focus I always just go through all the video transcripts and give you the ones that are the most relevant it actually sometimes shows you the exactly what section of the video is taking the content from so it gives you the time stamps right in the sourcing so once you have your sources and your focus all dialed in the next really cool feature is the ability to rewrite you see at the bottom of the response has a rewrite button now I can actually rewrite this article using any of the supported AI models you do need the pro version for this in the first l in the description I'll put a promo code that gives you $10 off your first month so it's basically half price your first month if you want to try the pro version out but the nice thing is they add the new models really quickly so for example anthropic added clae 3 just yesterday and it's supposed to already outperform gbt 4 in most benchmarks we'll see if that's true or not if that's just marketing but it's really nice that I have this available to me right away so let's just rewrite this article using Cloud 3 Cloud models have a reputation for being really good at SEO and I can see this already it's actually doing a much better job than gbt 4 did with the same sources and for all the sourcing it's giving me the time stamps and giving me lots of SEO data as well my first impression of the cloud 3 I'm very impressed with it I think I'm going to change this to be my default one in a bonus feature if you look at the bottom left hand side under the download if you click on that it actually gives you four different options and you can just install the app on your phone if you want what I've been actually been really using a lot of lately is using the Chrome AI companion so you can use perplexity for just browsing a website and you can ask to summarize that website I can also make it your default search so you can replace Google if you want I did this on one of my browsers so I have one that Stills Google and then one that defaults right to perplexity so I can just type in searches really quickly I'm actually using more of the complexity one lately this is a really cool product I definitely recommend you check it out at least try the free version and see if you like it they have a lot of momentum behind them I think their valuation just gone over a billion dollars so I think I'll keep hearing more and more about perplexity going to the Future hope you enjoyed the video and hope you're having an amazing day and I'll talk to you the next one
