About Course
Google gives you links. Perplexity gives you answers, with sources you can check directly. Perplexity AI is an AI search engine that combines real-time web information with language model logic and provides each answer with quoted, clickable source references. It is the only major AI tool that puts transparency over sources at its heart.
In this course, you will learn how to use Perplexity as a professional research tool. You will discover how focus modes sharpen your search results, how Pro Search unravels complex questions step by step, how to analyse your own files and how to use Spaces to organise research. In four compact modules, you will build a five-step search workflow that you can deploy immediately.
Each module contains teaching material, practical tips, home assignments and knowledge checks with immediate feedback. You conclude with a final assignment in which you document your search workflow. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate.
