Do you have some tips for my use case?

Here are three tips that will help you maximize your experience with Perplexity:

Search Smart—Keywords or File Upload, Your Call

Prompting is key in AI. But Perplexity understands you like a search engine. Use File Upload for in-depth context or keep it simple with 2 or 3 keywords. Dial in, get answers.

Personalize through Your AI Profile

Adjust settings like language, output format, and tone. As you update your AI Profile, Perplexity becomes more you.

Customize Your Privacy and Collaborate with Collections

By default, your Threads are private. Want to share? Hit "Share" and go public. Use Threads and Collections for teamwork or shared research. Add prompts to an entire Collection and tailor it just the way you like.

Note: Threads stay hidden until you share the URL, even when set to public.
