If this doesn’t save you 2 hours with this, I’ll stop talking about AI here.

Stop using ChatGPT to seek information. Use Perplexity instead.

1. Use Perplexity Pro.

2. Make sure to use "Research".

3. Copy and paste this prompt below:

I need [specific fact/criteria] about [subject] as of [date/today/timeframe]. Give the answer, key caveats, and what to double-check.

For example, I love using this for viral topics:

“I need the top 3 viral AI startup stories as of today. Give the answer, key caveats (such as disputed details or unconfirmed reports), and what to double-check before posting.”

Perplexity will search real-time news, link direct sources, and flag possible issues (like if a stat is outdated or a report comes from a single source).

I wrote an entire blog on how to search with AI.
