Introduction

This video demonstrates a method to bypass the limitations of the Perplexity API by using OpenRouter web search capabilities with any AI model, enabling more comprehensive and accurate web research. The speaker showcases how to extract detailed information, including images, and build a superior directory website using this technique.

Key Takeaways

• Improved Web Research: The OpenRouter method allows users to leverage superior LLMs (like Gemini or Anthropic) for web research, unlike the Perplexity API which is limited to its own less accurate model.
• Detailed JSON Data Extraction: The process generates extensive JSON files containing information beyond what typical web scraping or directories provide, including guest tips, pricing details, policies, and images.
• Custom MCP Setup: The video explains how to create custom MCPs (Model-Custom Prompts) to utilize OpenRouter models, providing a flexible and powerful approach to web research.
• Enhanced Directory Website Creation: The extracted JSON data can directly guide website development, resulting in richer, more informative directory sites.
• Competitive Advantage: This method enables creation of superior directories with significantly more detailed information than competitors, leading to a competitive edge in online presence.
