Perplexity prompts
Perplexity is a research engine, not a chatbot — these prompts are structured for citation-first answers, source triangulation and honest "what does the evidence actually say" work.
Every prompt lists the exact tool and version it was tested against.
Turn a vague research question into a Deep Research report with a real evidence trailA brief for Perplexity Deep Research mode that forces a stated research plan, a recency window, and an evidence table instead of a fluent-sounding single-pass answer.Perplexity Pro (Deep Research mode)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-18Give a Perplexity Space persistent instructions so every new thread doesn't start from zeroA custom-instructions document you paste into a Perplexity Space once, so role, source priorities, and output rules apply automatically to every future thread in that Space.Perplexity SpacesPerplexity Pro2026-06-24Force independent corroboration before you trust a claim, not citation-cluster agreementA verification prompt that requires a minimum number of genuinely independent sources for a claim, explicitly ruling out citations that all trace back to the same original report.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-05Audit a Perplexity answer's citations before you rely on any of themA follow-up prompt that re-checks every numbered citation in a prior Perplexity answer against the actual source text, catching claims attached to a citation that only loosely supports them.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-12Run an Academic-focus literature scan that surfaces methodology, not just conclusionsA literature-scan prompt for Perplexity's Academic focus mode that forces a study-by-study synthesis table including sample size and stated limitations, not a flattened conclusions list.Perplexity Pro (Academic focus)Perplexity Pro Search2026-06-30Build a living competitor-comparison table inside a Space instead of a one-off answerA recurring competitive-research prompt designed to run inside a Perplexity Space, with fixed comparison columns and per-cell citations so the table can be safely re-run and extended over time.Perplexity SpacesPerplexity Pro Search2026-07-09Fact-check one specific claim with a verdict you can't hedge aroundA closed-verdict fact-checking prompt that requires quoting the exact claim, weighing real counter-evidence, and committing to one of six named verdicts rather than a vague "it depends."Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-14Brief Perplexity Labs to produce a report, a data table, and a dashboard in one passA deliverables-first brief for Perplexity Labs that names each output asset explicitly, so a multi-step research task produces a linked report, spreadsheet, and simple dashboard instead of just a written summary.Perplexity Labs2026-07-22Trace a stat or quote back to its actual primary source, not the article repeating itA citation-chain-walking prompt that instructs Perplexity to keep tracing backward past news aggregators until it reaches the original filing, dataset, or statement a widely repeated figure actually came from.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-06-28Map a trend across time with a dated citation for every data point, not a snapshotA trend-analysis prompt that requires a chronological, dated citation table and an explicit split between a real structural shift and a one-off headline dressed up as a trend.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-02Run a structured due-diligence brief on a company across fixed categories, not a vague overviewA category-by-category due diligence brief covering corporate basics, leadership, financial signals, legal risk, and reputation, with explicit "should verify independently" flags on single-sourced claims.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Comet2026-07-27Get only what changed since you last checked, not the whole topic re-explainedA recurring monitoring prompt that anchors to a prior summary and cutoff date so each re-run reports only material changes since then, instead of a fresh full explanation every time.Perplexity SpacesPerplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)2026-08-01
