[@Indresh2468]

My supervisor mentioned this last week during our weekly meetings and it's really great for scientific questions as it points to immediate literature.

[@brucequinn]

Thanks, I’m having a lot of fun exploring perplexity, the last five or 10 days, and I think I heard about it here first.

[@BrotherEDEN]

I just found Perplexity, today and I immediately came to your site to see what you thought of the program. I LOVE the ability to upload my own paper and have it give me additional info, like a better conclusion, a correlated reference list (with subheadings), a structure from my paper for a future powerpoint ... and even formulated images that I could use. HALLELUJAH !!!!

[@frlipa]

You can't use those images though.

I cannot think of a more amazing tool that has been created in the history of humanity than Perplexity. It's magic. It's really the least amount of friction too, just using it, compared to the other major LLMs, it seems faster and more intuitive to use.

[@Mountaineer170]

Your prompts are hilarious 🤣 I find Claude 2.1 model performs better on Perplexity than GPT 4.

[@username42]

free?

[@mikkelfrimer-rasmussen7729]

In actual science research, I'd expect more than literature searching. Did it have an effect on something - apart from giving summaries? And on those summaries: do we know a bit about Perplexity searches for and selects sources to cite?

[@minchurandom]

So timely for me, who have just started Perplexity yesterday 😂

[@No.ThatPrettyGirl]

HOLY EFFNG ISH! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’ve been searching for an “ALL IN ONE” api so that I’m not shelling out $20 here, $30 there EVERY MONTH! I’m blown away😍

[@rupertllavore1731]

Did you subscribe to Perplexity yet? 😂 I've been thinking the exact same thing

[@No.ThatPrettyGirl]

@@rupertllavore1731 Not quite yet. I’m renovating my home office so I’m not adding any new “tools” to my toolbox until I’m finished. I’ll certainly let u know tho. Plz do the same.😊

@Andy great video, thanks for putting out your thoughts out there.... did you explore the Google Gemini??

[@Su1t4n_511]

Great video - Andy👍🏼. In Perplexity ai, you can creates specific collection - designated for your own research project - that has its own persona, which you can modify in the setting. It is nice feature to personalize your search.

[@viktor_k_campus_molndal]

Great chanel! Thank you. What would you recommend in university studies: Perplexity or Harpa AI?

[@No.ThatPrettyGirl]

😂Andy’s last question/prompt 😆 It’s SO CHEEKY❣️ I’m not even British. I just love that word “CHEEKY.”😆 I was born and raised in the good ole Southern USA 😊🇺🇸😊

[@henriqueat]

Sounds really nice. Considering a research for review paper, would you go for Elecit or Perplexity?

[@AdiWibowoOctavianto]

Thanks, your content has given me a lot of insights. In your opinion, which one offers more benefits, Elicit Pro or Perplexity Pro?

[@va4409]

Can you please tell me the mehod to turn off the figures to go into training model? As you speak about that at 11:02.

[@jacquescousteau217]

Your voice, and phrasing are very close to Russell Brand . I’m not going to where I learned that. I listened side by side. I was blown away. It’s not even listed as an option but as I’m a voice coach this came out of ether with an asterisk. Out of curiosity are you,and Russell Brand from a geographic region close enough to have colloquial word, accents,and word phrasing similar to this degree. Perplexity is so far ahead of Chat …

[@username42]

great video, however the figures you upload were not already been from a published paper so the ai tools already knew what it is in at there? then dont you think we need to check its quality of writing style with the unpublished figures?

[@academyex]

Love your enthusiasm, love your prompts

[@UTJK.]

The hilarious part of the prompt is just for color ot is it necessary to reinforce the request? I'm not kidding... I'm genuinely interested in knowing it :D

[@pip119]

Thanks for the explanation. In these videos it would be helpful if you explained the pricing structure and limitations of any free version. Perplexity looks to be 200 USD per year

[@aiminsen]

Where is the part where you can turn off training of your uploaded data? I rewatched multiple times but can't seem to find the demo.

[@mohammedalaouna8942]

Hi And,y I just finished my PhD, going for Postdoc position, which Ai tool should I pay for to help me in my academic writing. ChatGPT or Perplexity?

[@Firearrowlj7nn]

None. Turnitin now has AI detection and the prof may fail your paper.

[@utmostredundancy]

We will have a slew of fake postdocs like yourself… write it yourself

Do you recommend paying for both Chat GPT Plus and perplexity, or paying for perplexity only?

[@suzaniematsaat1111]

[@DrAndyStapleton]

I make all my shirts! But with the number of comments I get I should start selling them:)

Thank you that was incredibly useful. Does it still hallucinate? I am guessing yes because it is using existing language models.

I'm sold on it. Take my money!

[@markrosenberg4369]

Very good. But I don't think it can create images. Is that correct?

[@anthonygikuri]

Andy🎉🎉!!! Bravooo!!!! Any idea about listening pdf apps?

[@bodiddly12]

I wonder could you ask it to redraw the diagram better?

[@talal-az]

Is it able to look at multiple pdfs at the same time and answer questions from all? If not, is there anything out there that can do so?

[@DrAndyStapleton]

Check out Docanalyzer for multi doc chat - its the best I've tried so far

[@talal-az]

@@DrAndyStapleton thank you, will give it a try

[@christopherd.winnan8701]

Interesting, but the cool stuff cannot be accessed without a Pro account. Is there an interesting OS alternative?

[@eiermann1952]

i tried to research a topic called SEC (special economic zones) in Mexico. Its just dead wrong what perplexity came up with because it does not ention that SEC got canceled years ago, not a single mention. great tool anyway.

How to turn off the thing where it retains the information you write

[@andresvillalpando3776]

What’s the different in all these new tools VS. buying ChatGPT 4

[@madarauchiha5433]

I like perplexity more for research than gpt4

[@michaeld7214]

!! Tell me where you are buying those awesome shirts!!

[@sugarraysmith5450]

So where will the answers come from for this app when the source sites fail from lack of ad dollars. No one is going to pay to advertise on a site where 80% of the hits are by bots. Also how many people are going to actually check the accuracy of the information, especially if the answer sits well with them?

[@donnymiddlebrook]

I don't see copilot when I log into perplexity.

[@raubry]

1. Great review, as usual! I pre-ordered the Rabbit R1 device, so they gave us a year's subscription to Perplexity Pro (a.k.a "Wizard Level"). 2. Where can I get a shirt like yours? It's awesome!

[@saratrajb]

copilot isn't free is it?

[@kartana]

Did they rename copilot to pro? I subbed and the button says pro.

[@Edward-zw9ld]

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@charlesmendeley9823]

Do you add your psychological problems to the prompt to entertain the viewers, or is it on purpose as some kind of prompt engineering to shame the system into creating better results?

[@alessiafaggian999]

I was using it wrong! Obtaining only faffing around answers, or it is just unprepared on synthetic biology 😅

[@dtyn]

@Andy - do you have code for Perplexity? I might want a Pro account and wish to support you.

Now, I know what I will be experimenting with. Thanks!

[@ReflectionOcean]

- Explore the settings to manage data usage and select AI models. - Utilize Co-pilot feature for precise search results in academic research. - Request recent papers for specific topics to stay updated. - Leverage Vision feature to understand and explain complex images in research papers. - Create narratives and order from figures to shape compelling stories in papers. - Summarize key points from research papers to save time and aid comprehension. - Check collaborators' related content through AI-generated recommendations.

[@panan7777]

Well depends. I already broke it twice. It DOES give some good answers, but on a very complex topics it falls flat on the face. It has even admitted it doesn't have enough data for my question. My take: This AI proggies are just "expert systems" from a few decades ago, just running on stronger hardware and fed more data. At the end this will be just tool, advanced, but still tools.

[@VolodymyrKreschenko]

Hm, sounds too good to be true)) So can we say that it provide me with only accurate information from the web?

[@CharlesEnglebert-xl6lq]

I like your t-shirt

[@fred-62]

It is wayyy behind bing chat, not sure if this is a paid promotion

[@GamerEngineer1345]

I don't know if you meant the pro version because bing chat is horrible compared to perplexity, also having write mode is a great advantage since it basically gives you vanilla gpt-4 turbo that has identical results with chatgpt+

[@DNathan1257]

Cool ideas though if it all works out like he says.

[@XploreKorea]

This ai generated text can be detected by ai detector tool? Any idea

[@ChaseRyder1]

Jack Dorseys voices sounds different than I thought it would

[@pressrepeat2000]

It’s been pretty bad at answering very basic questions for me. I’ve been using the free version because of the hype, and it’s useless.

[@denijane89]

OMG, WTF with prompts?! I mean who writes such emotional prompts. I've tried perplexity, it works but it's not that useful in the free version. Maybe if there is a black Friday with 50% discount, I'll pay for one year gladly.

[@chalandragooden4763]

Now Perplexity was suppose to stay a secret Andy 😅

[@coldstone87]

This might be funny but I actually like Google search results better. Google search gives me whole list of web respurces and I chose what I want to see. These new age chatbots think they know better😊

[@lafamillecarrington]

Every time I hear 'methodology' I want to scream! It is the METHOD. Do people use the wrong word just because it sounds more scientific?

[@chinyererachel]

😮😂 I 😢 just used methodology in my tutorial 😅

[@lafamillecarrington]

I realise that its meaning has now changed to be 'scientific method'. I blame those scientists in the early 80s who started the change! 🙂 @@chinyererachel

[@chinyererachel]

@@lafamillecarrington thank you for letting me know this, we live and learn right... I blame those scientists too.

[@sambuckingham3971]

For anyone unsure. Method = the specific tools or procedure used for a task. Methodology = the overarching approach guiding the specific method.

[@ValSchnitzel]

@@albertonovati4518 It gives answers that have nothing to do with the questions, then when you attempt to correct it it will just continue giving the same reply word for word. Additionally it often gives citations that doesn't have the info it claimed to have. It wasn't always like this, it used to be really good.

[@aliwaqas5780]

These tools are useless and shouldn’t be used. I want an option to select citations only from high-quality Q1 journals, ensuring they are up-to-date. Currently, only low-quality, open-access, and questionable journals are being cited.

Thats true, these tools dont include recent papers from good journals. Mostly they will give u mdpi and other openaccess journals.

[@erikfiala]

Tbh I prefer Krawl AI over Perplexity. It's more work-focused and I can get lot more things done using it because of the "tools" concept they introduced. Plus they are adding new tools to it almost every other week. It's not necessarily great for scientific research yet, but still more useful than Perplexity in other use cases right now I think
