It’s amazingly intuitive. I save and share my queries as a thread. I share the threads with colleagues. They contribute/interact and WE become really informed! - Thank you.
Bravo! I've watched seven videos so far about this topic. This is the best explanation of how to use Collections. I set one up with an AI prompt that is a variation of your prompt. I've begun going through a folder full of articles that I have put off reading for months. What a HUGE time-saver. I've found important information that I can use in my work. One tip: I set the default to "Claude v3" and got much better results in how it presented the summary and the quality of the analysis.
This is awesome. I uploaded a +200 page HBR e-book PDF and chatted all over the text, querying Perplexity about content, where the content appears in the text, and if the Index was referencing the page of that content. Nailed it. Thanks for this tutorial, Wes.
I went to university and the biggest takeaway I got from the process was the ability to reference many sources from different and diverse perspectives. I believe that this should not be lost when AI comes into force as if you believe the first thing that any source tells you then this is a flawed method. Perplexity / google open AI are all biased but so are human “experts” it is still sensible to refer across a couple of platforms and sources and then critically think and make up your own mind. Don’t get lazy and comfortable in your own echo chambers. Constantly challenge your own bias and be open to new ideas. Remember we don’t know anything and people will look back at us in the future the same way we look back to people who didn’t understand illness and blamed witchcraft or thought the earth was flat 👍🏻
Another fantastic video Wes, really like the way you produce your videos, no need for flashy graphics or intros or music. Just giving the facts and ideas of how to use Perplexity. I also can't be the only one who finds your voice and accent very calming. Keep it up 👍
youtube is being bypassed too. I am making this comment without watching a single minute of this video. My custom summarizer does not serve ads and compresses time spent on videos 5-25% depending bullshit density.
Fantastic work as,always Wes. My go to for AI, you are outstanding! Btw, I liked the review aspect of this. You do that really well and could be a branch for you . Not that you need it or have Time 😅 Appreciate you Wes!
I started using Perplexity recently and this was absolutely helpful. Wouldn’t mind seeing some Cross channel stuff with you and David either. He says he’s going to be doing more interviews and I think it’d be cool to hear two AI observers/analysts talk about some predictions.
@@jerbear7952 respectfully disagree. I watch at least a dozen channels and David has material on economic systems, systems thinking, the new work/life balance, and the effect of futurism on humanity while Wes has a more, sometimes poetic, analysis of current events and provides digestible analysis of research papers geared toward the layman (i.e. me).
Wonderful overview of the different features in Perplexity; exactly the kind of information that should have been included on the Perplexity website! Many thanks! Look forward to the video on combining Zapier with Perplexity.
Great video! I've been using it and its browser extension for months and still learn a to. As to the extension, when you're on a webpage, use the extension to ask questions... Really can speed up your workflow.
The thing I like most about Perplexity is the speed. ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot can do live research, but the time delay makes me less likely to search up random questions that may or may not lead anywhere. I use Perplexity more often than the others because it's so fast.
Tbh I prefer Krawl AI over Perplexity. It's more work-focused and I can get lot more things done using it because of the "tools" concept they introduced. Plus they are adding new tools to it almost every other week.
@@MudroZvon I remember the old days when Google search was useful. TH-cam and Reddit (at times) are superior. I generally just ChatGPT to get my answer. I want to like Perplexity but as an AI Engineer I can see imagine how they built it. It's a good tool but it's a bit too specialized for my use case (I like the simplicity of ChatGPTs UI and lack of adverts)
I see your point, but companies have to make some money somehow, or else they'll soll fall out of business. IDK, but this doesn't seem sustainable long term and on scale
Yes, exactly, Reddit, news sites etc should either opt out scraping, or get a fee. What is shown here is a temporary bliss. Let’s enjoy it while we can, but it will end.
Derek knows his shit. Ive been on TRT for many years and he is a great source for deep info on the topic. David is the same for AI philosophy. Captain Kirk was a pirate, Picard is a gentleman poet. Both have their place.
Great cover of Perplexity Wes!! I’ve been hoping for the fix to the web mess constantly for along time! Web2.0 didn’t fix it (yes, I’m old as dirt)…. Block Chain didn’t fix it…. I seriously hope AI will! Keep up the good work!
I use Perplexity AI quite often. I haven't found an AI that's any better for now; it suits my needs. I use quite a few other AIs, and like the way Google's AI (Bard -> Gemini) allows me to save content directly to Google Docs. Those detestable media websites have to survive and receive payment, otherwise all of these search engines won't have anything to scrape from.
It gets to the point where you really need multiple chat options to achieve a goal. A sincere issue with many chat options is the overly aggressive "moral" compass that often times inhibits sincere research. Although, it's understandable (nefarious bad actors) but, for most of us without that intention it's just annoying. Enjoyed your video.
great info! so much more than what I've been doing with Perplexity. Radom question: What is the tracker extension (5:55) that appeared in the Bloomberg section of the video?
I completely agree with you that Perplexity is a gamer-changer. What happens when all these ‘sources’ disappear because they don’t have the money to provide fact-based journalism…so we aren’t annoyed by ads and pop ups? Thanks for the great overview.
As someone who has been on reddit for like 11 years now, I find it sort of humorous when I hear people talk about reddit in good light nowadays lol. I will say that its google search results tend to be helpful though. (Reddit is almost a different kind of thing now, same bones, different flesh) Digressing, I'll definitely be checking out Perplexity though. It's interesting that instead of decentralizing the now centralized internet, we sort of created centralized tools that "artificially decentralizes" it? IDK what I'm trying to say but there's something there I promise. We've picked our path I suppose. Will be interesting to see how the internet evolves in the next decade.
That's interesting - I wonder how long it will be before it gets bloated with ads and you have to get the pro version to remove ads 🙃 and then get ads anyway.
One of the reasons i feel google and chrome became so successful is because they were not only simple, but faster than anyone else. I think who ever puts these kinds of features together with elegant simplicity and speed will win. Lets see if google can catch up.
This was a great video. The only reason I am still using Google, is that I am used to it, and it is currently automatic to open Google for any search I want. I need to rewire my brain...
I didn’t know about the playground and having access to the open source mixtral is great news. I have been using the app but wasn’t that impressed except that you 💯 correct about how bad the UX is when just doing a browser search these days. Nasty. I’m also sick of the bias (I find myself censoring myself here) in OpenAI. I’m fed up with that garbage and I’m going to cancel my account. Thanks for sharing about the playground. If I sign up I will use your affiliate link for sure dude. You are the best eh.
Perplexity is good and I recommend it to non-technical people that are not interested in using AI like ChatGPT. It just answers questions accurately without any fuss. Was this video done with the free or paid version of Perplexity?
Awesome video, Wes. Since this breaks the advertising model of so many websites that are providing the source info, how long do you think it will be before all those sites are dead and/or Perplexity is full of ads? Or can you conceive of another future path?
Applications such as Perplexity won't be a threat to social media. People love interacting with others, whether it's liking a heart icon and replying to others. Social media provides a space for sharing ideas, opinions, gifs, videos, etc. This is why Reddit, Tiktok, TH-cam, Facebook, Twitter, and so on, are so popular. Bard, Chat GPT, Perplexity are soulless interfaces that don't offer social interaction that people want. They are great for information but that's about it. They will most likely replace search engines, wikipedias, dictionaries, etc.
What most are failing to realize is that it isnt the advertising model that must cease, it is the incentives used to drive revenue through ads. Chosen content almost invites ads by most users. Whats funny is the industry could have moved yours way a long time ago but they didn't wanna risk the profits
Recently subscribed to plus. Given due to the quality of ChatGPT but still retain it for the meanwhile. More jobs now are "distributed" to different models for different purposes or a combination.
Hm. I gotta say I was very suprised by you saying that one of its big advantages is that it doesn't halucinate. I recently stopped using it, after I asked it to quote the first 3 lines of a random Wikipedia article I chose. (About John von Neumann.) And it started halucinating every single time, didn't return the first 3 lines verbatim even once. Something that Copilot and Bard had no problem with. Did I use it the wrong way?
You need to use the more advanced models rather than default. Eg GPT4 .But $20 per month it’s not for everybody. But a very good AI tool. Many others are pretty useless at this point.
For each link provided, create a report. Include the following in this order: SUMMARY: do a quick summary with the main points of the article. KEYWORDS: add keywords that relate to the article, like companies, people and specific AI terms INTERESTING POINTS: add interesting bullet points, numbers, figures etc FULL STORY: write out an in depth full story CITATIONS: at the bottom add all the situations with titles and URLS
I haven't messed with the paid version yet; but in my free use of it, I've noticed it seems to think I'm the one providing the search results, so sounds like it's at least two systems, one that figures out some search queries (dunno if it's more than one search per prompt), and another that receives your prompt combined with the search results and reacts to that (and I imagine there's more behind the scenes, system prompts, pre-prompts etc). There have been a few times where the search results were quite nonsensical as if the AI had misinterpreted what really was the topic and searched for something else, but then the actual reply noted that the search results weren't relevant and came up with it's own answer without taking the search results in consideration; so it really does sound like that it might not even be the same model doing the searches as the one that writes the answers the user sees.
Ok but you haven't even touched on the ad based model as the driver for content creation. That's a huge part of why we even have the online material we have.
So perplexity is a filtered wrapper around copilot, a deeper layer than copilot so it’s actually copilot wrapped around it, or it has nothing to do with the copilot we all hear about online already (Microsoft)?
Do you know if I cancel my openai membership and sign up for Perplexity, if I'd lose any feature or function that I'd have available using ChatGPT directly vs. using it on Perplexity's system?
well if i can gain the same function chat gpt has through openai membership directly, it'd make sense to me to cancel and buy a pro membership through perplexity if no function would be lost, especially since id be gaining all the capability of perplexity and the other models they support/provide access to. This is why I am curious if perplexity provides the same level of control and depth as is able to be achieved through open ai directly @hqcart1
@@hqcart1 if the functions lost via canceling with openai, are gained back under perplexity membership, I'd also gain functions of perplexity's system and the models they support, which aren't available directly at openai; where I pay the same for their pro membership. Not sure if this is the case as far as functionality but if so that's logic behind the question. Any more information would be greatly appreciated and highly welcomed 🙏
WOW, and good friggin yebus, wes!! you've quite quickly become my go-to!! thanks for your YOU!! (PS - i must confess to doubts as to whether this vid title was clickbate, but this is a must-see and have shared it with many now!)
I wonder what will happen if everybody uses an AI search like perplexity and then people stop publishing content on websites because they can't make any money from it. Where then will perplexity get its content from?
The problem would be that websites are not going to be able to monetize. Abuse it while it works. If this becomes "the next thing" publishers and advertising companies are going to complain to the governments and ask for new laws.
Yes exactly! If perplexity and websites like it are picking data from websites and neatly summarizing content from websites then those websites will opt out or go under....
Not just opt out (if blocking search engines is what you mean), they stop creating authentic content entirely. Some articles take me and other content creators a week or more to write (or our writers to write) and can be $1000+ to buy and test products, develop recipes, travel somewhere for research, etc. But it can also 2+ years ROI, which is fine. It used to be worth it, but not anymore. I haven’t invested in high quality content in about a year because it just gets scraped and summarized. So some content creators have just become discouraged and don’t see a future in it, and others are pumping out 1000+ AI written articles per day that no human ever sees prior to it being published and put out there for public consumption. It’s easy and if a few stick, it’s worth it. But that’s the future of the web and I’m not sure how to stop it. In another year or two we will likely have personal AI assistants that will answer our questions in regular conversation.
ChatGPT is pretty good for my use case. Perplexity is fast yes, but its not great for my use case. I will say its superior to Google and ChatGPT web browsing. Its not an agent
Doesn’t it sound like simple RAG, basic chat your PDF + SerpAPI integration probably with a few other document Loader such as those provided by LlamaIndex & Langchain ?
I’ve thought about this exactly and am working on building my own LLM optimized search….some serpapi, a hint of beautifulsoup, some LLM distillation, for,string and reasoning on the info, and voila….🤔🤷🏼♂️🦾🤫
For those concerned about how these companies are going to make money without ads. It's not your problem. Use this early adopter advantage to make your money and let the big dogs worry their own problems. There are billions of people out there that will still be subject to ads while you build for years to come.
awesome vid Wes , thnx =] 100% enjoying watching the dinosaurs encourage their own extinction ; every anti-customer/annoying-ad is another endorsement of better user-friendly systems , yep
How are the privacy policies for Perplexity? If someone uses DDG or startpage, how much worse is it for privacy? I asked what the maximum dose of diclofenac 100mg supps per day is and perplexity answered: The maximum frequency of diclofenac 100mg suppositories is typically 2 to 3 times a day, with a maximum daily dose of 100mg. The dosage is based on the individual's medical condition and response to treatment, and it is important not to exceed 100 milligrams of diclofenac (suppositories and/or tablets) in a 24-hour period. Hmmm :/
On the P site it says if you pay for the thing, you get GPT4? But if you ask P itself it says no you don't. So the either website or Perplexity is wrong.

Really, i don't ofren post something but I really really love the way you presebt différents things and topics. A video cery well done. Thabk you Wes
This is so helpful Ive already been getting amazing feedback from perplexity
I haven't messed with the paid version yet; but in my free use of it, I've noticed it seems to think I'm the one providing the search results, so sounds like it's at least two systems, one that figures out some search queries (dunno if it's more than one search per prompt), and another that receives your prompt combined with the search results and reacts to that (and I imagine there's more behind the scenes, system prompts, pre-prompts etc). There have been a few times where the search results were quite nonsensical as if the AI had misinterpreted what really was the topic and searched for something else, but then the actual reply noted that the search results weren't relevant and came up with it's own answer without taking the search results in consideration; so it really does sound like that it might not even be the same model doing the searches as the one that writes the answers the user sees.
Ok but you haven't even touched on the ad based model as the driver for content creation. That's a huge part of why we even have the online material we have.
So perplexity is a filtered wrapper around copilot, a deeper layer than copilot so it’s actually copilot wrapped around it, or it has nothing to do with the copilot we all hear about online already (Microsoft)?
Do you know if I cancel my openai membership and sign up for Perplexity, if I'd lose any feature or function that I'd have available using ChatGPT directly vs. using it on Perplexity's system?
why would you want to cxl in the first place?
well if i can gain the same function chat gpt has through openai membership directly, it'd make sense to me to cancel and buy a pro membership through perplexity if no function would be lost, especially since id be gaining all the capability of perplexity and the other models they support/provide access to.
This is why I am curious if perplexity provides the same level of control and depth as is able to be achieved through open ai directly @hqcart1
@@hqcart1 if the functions lost via canceling with openai, are gained back under perplexity membership, I'd also gain functions of perplexity's system and the models they support, which aren't available directly at openai; where I pay the same for their pro membership.
Not sure if this is the case as far as functionality but if so that's logic behind the question.
Any more information would be greatly appreciated and highly welcomed 🙏
@mr.notorious2465 why not ask yer ai bot it probably knows since you can't figure it out.
@@chublez lol! When GPT refuses to adhere to your prompts ☝️ Don't let it get you so mad 🤣
awesome content wes!
Love Perplexity.
Very interesting to watch overview.
Great job
Really good!
There's nothing i love more than subverting the will of our oppressors 😊
Wes, what IDE are you pasting the code into? It appears to say “game” but what is it?
It's not clear, since you use gpt4 with it does it mean that you paid the pro version (or maybe use your openai API key )
But do they actually do web search, eg. index the Internet themselves or do they relay on Google or Microsoft?
For some reason, couldn't get it to query certain popular social media websites. Is this because certain websites have blocked access to their APIs?
WOW, and good friggin yebus, wes!! you've quite quickly become my go-to!! thanks for your YOU!! (PS - i must confess to doubts as to whether this vid title was clickbate, but this is a must-see and have shared it with many now!)
great features but doesnt chatgpt also have all these features? please correct me if i am wrong? maybe the difference is that its free.
Fantastic! Thx.
Does Tom's Hardware need to create a custom GPT for people to @ in order to survive?
I wonder what will happen if everybody uses an AI search like perplexity and then people stop publishing content on websites because they can't make any money from it. Where then will perplexity get its content from?
The problem would be that websites are not going to be able to monetize. Abuse it while it works. If this becomes "the next thing" publishers and advertising companies are going to complain to the governments and ask for new laws.
Yes exactly! If perplexity and websites like it are picking data from websites and neatly summarizing content from websites then those websites will opt out or go under....
Not just opt out (if blocking search engines is what you mean), they stop creating authentic content entirely. Some articles take me and other content creators a week or more to write (or our writers to write) and can be $1000+ to buy and test products, develop recipes, travel somewhere for research, etc. But it can also 2+ years ROI, which is fine. It used to be worth it, but not anymore. I haven’t invested in high quality content in about a year because it just gets scraped and summarized.
So some content creators have just become discouraged and don’t see a future in it, and others are pumping out 1000+ AI written articles per day that no human ever sees prior to it being published and put out there for public consumption. It’s easy and if a few stick, it’s worth it. But that’s the future of the web and I’m not sure how to stop it. In another year or two we will likely have personal AI assistants that will answer our questions in regular conversation.
ChatGPT is pretty good for my use case. Perplexity is fast yes, but its not great for my use case. I will say its superior to Google and ChatGPT web browsing. Its not an agent
Doesn’t it sound like simple RAG, basic chat your PDF + SerpAPI integration probably with a few other document Loader such as those provided by LlamaIndex & Langchain ?
From a technical perspective, I think it an be built fairly quickly
Yes, you’re right on the money. Most likely they’re also using Bing or Google APIs for search with a custom filtering mechanism.
I’ve thought about this exactly and am working on building my own LLM optimized search….some serpapi, a hint of beautifulsoup, some LLM distillation, for,string and reasoning on the info, and voila….🤔🤷🏼♂️🦾🤫
Wasn't phind first to do this before perplexity?
Question: what if websites implement anti-AI measures, essentially preventing JIT RAG?
For those concerned about how these companies are going to make money without ads. It's not your problem. Use this early adopter advantage to make your money and let the big dogs worry their own problems. There are billions of people out there that will still be subject to ads while you build for years to come.
awesome vid Wes , thnx =]
100% enjoying watching the dinosaurs encourage their own extinction ; every anti-customer/annoying-ad is another endorsement of better user-friendly systems , yep
How are the privacy policies for Perplexity? If someone uses DDG or startpage, how much worse is it for privacy? I asked what the maximum dose of diclofenac 100mg supps per day is and perplexity answered: The maximum frequency of diclofenac 100mg suppositories is typically 2 to 3 times a day, with a maximum daily dose of 100mg. The dosage is based on the individual's medical condition and response to treatment, and it is important not to exceed 100 milligrams of diclofenac (suppositories and/or tablets) in a 24-hour period. Hmmm :/
On the P site it says if you pay for the thing, you get GPT4? But if you ask P itself it says no you don't. So the either website or Perplexity is wrong.
you make great videos, why need to disrupt the quality with background music?
It's 2mins, in the intro of a 36min vid 🥴
@@d-rex7043I didn't realize that, thanks for pointing it out! Still, I prefer all without music, it's a nice ASMR as well :D
Give it a moment, perplexity will become perplexed and it will be tempted over to the dark side of $$$.
