Research With Perplexity: Search, Sources & Deep Research

Use Perplexity as a real research instrument. Shape questions it can answer, pick the search depth and the model behind it, grade its citations instead of trusting them, commission Deep Research for the heavy jobs, and keep a Space that stops you re-explaining yourself.

About this course

You already know what Perplexity is and you have asked it questions. This course is about the next thing: using it the way a working researcher uses a good instrument. You will learn to shape a question it can actually answer, to choose the search depth and the model behind the answer on purpose, to read its citations as a mix to be graded rather than a badge of trust, to commission Deep Research for the heavy multi-source jobs, and to keep a Space that stops you re-explaining yourself every time.

The through-line is one habit that gets deeper as the tool gets more powerful: judge what comes back before you rely on it.
