I test AI tools extensively, and while I appreciate many, I consistently rely on Perplexity—more than just an assistant, it’s an ideal research partner. The tool excels in providing accurate answers with real-time web access and citations, particularly after launching its Comet browser. My top seven prompts include:
- News Summaries: “Summarize today’s top 5 AI stories with links to sources.”
- Research: “Find recent studies on [topic] with key findings.”
- Product Comparisons: “Compare [product/service] with three alternatives.”
- Explainers: “Best explainer on [topic] for beginners.”
- Industry Trends: “Track updates on [company or model] from the past week.”
- Simplification: “Rewrite this paragraph for a 5th grader.”
- Brainstorming: “Five ideas for a children’s book based on trending topics.”
PayPal and Venmo users can bypass the waitlist for Comet and access Perplexity Pro. Overall, Perplexity boosts productivity and simplifies research. For more tips, follow Tom’s Guide on Google News.
