Introduction

This video highlights five underutilized features of the AI tool Perplexity, demonstrating how they enhance research and information gathering. The video also briefly introduces additional features and pricing options.

Key Takeaways

• Focus Mode: Allows users to specify the source of information (e.g., academic, social) for tailored responses.
• Spaces: Enables the creation of organized research threads with custom instructions for consistent responses within a given topic. Files can also be uploaded for reference within a space.
• Deep Research Mode: Generates comprehensive research reports, far exceeding the length of standard responses, with detailed breakdowns, limitations, and citations.
• Pages: Transforms research threads or Deep Research outputs into easily shareable web pages with customizable elements like images and headers.
• File Uploads: Allows users to directly upload documents for Perplexity to reference, providing faster access to information than manual searching. Additional features include incognito mode, model switching (allowing users to choose between different models for varied responses), and the Proarch feature (for deeper, more nuanced answers). Pricing options (free and pro) are also briefly discussed.

The transcript indicates that most features shown are available on the free plan. However, the free plan limits users to three file uploads per day and one deep research task per day, while the pro plan offers 300 deep research tasks and more file uploads per day. The exact number of file uploads allowed on the pro plan isn't specified. The video also mentions that many users find the free plan sufficient depending on their needs and the tools they are already using.
