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, named source priorities, a recency window, and a Finding/Source/Date/Confidence table instead of a fluent-sounding single-pass answer.Perplexity Pro (Deep Research mode)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-22Give 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, file-grounding rules, and output format apply automatically to every future thread created inside that Space.Perplexity SpacesPerplexity Pro2026-07-20Force independent corroboration before you trust a claim, not citation-cluster agreementA verification prompt that requires a stated minimum of genuinely independent sources for a claim, explicitly ruling out citations that all trace back to the same original press release, study, or wire report.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-24Audit 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 or partially supports them.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-26Run 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, method, and stated limitations, not a flattened list of headline conclusions.Perplexity Pro (Academic focus)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-21Build 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 round after round without losing comparability.Perplexity SpacesPerplexity Pro Search2026-07-27Fact-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, separating bundled assertions, and committing to one of six named verdicts rather than a vague "it depends."Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-29Brief Perplexity Labs to produce a report, a data table, and a dashboard in one linked 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 that all agree with each other instead of just a written summary.Perplexity Labs2026-07-31Trace 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 and blog summaries until it reaches the original filing, dataset, speech, or statement a widely repeated figure actually came from.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-23Map 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, plus a named reversal condition.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-25Run 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 and a weighting rule tied to why the brief is being run.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Comet2026-08-01Get 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, explicitly connecting new findings back to what they replace, instead of a fresh full explanation every time.Perplexity SpacesPerplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)2026-08-03Brief the Comet browser agent for a bounded multi-step task instead of one open-ended askA task brief for Perplexity Comet that names every site to visit, the exact data to pull from each, the stop condition, and what to do when a step fails — so an agentic browsing run stays inside a defined scope instead of wandering or quietly skipping a hard step.Perplexity Comet2026-08-04Pull a structured financial snapshot of a public company with figures tied to filings, not headlinesA brief for Perplexity's Finance features that requests a named set of financial metrics tied to the specific filing or reporting period each one came from, and explicitly separates a reported figure from an analyst estimate.Perplexity FinancePerplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)2026-07-28Use Reddit focus mode to find what people actually experienced, not what a brand claimsA prompt for Perplexity's Reddit focus mode that specifically seeks out unfiltered, first-hand user experience — including complaints and failure cases — as a deliberate counterweight to a product or company's own marketing claims.Perplexity Pro (Reddit focus)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-30Identify an object, place, or product from a photo, then research it with real citationsA two-stage prompt for image-based visual search that separates the identification step from the research step, requiring an explicit confidence level on the identification before any downstream claims get built on top of it.Perplexity Pro (visual search)Perplexity app2026-07-21Turn a research thread into a structured Perplexity Page worth sharing publiclyA brief for generating a Perplexity Page that specifies section structure, a target reader who was not part of the original research thread, and a rule against carrying over conversational asides that only made sense in context.Perplexity PagesPerplexity Pro2026-07-24Compare two specific purchase options against your own stated priorities, not generic pros and consA buying-decision prompt that requires the comparison to be weighted against a stated, ranked list of what actually matters to the buyer, rather than a generic feature-by-feature rundown that treats every difference as equally important.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-08-05Research a trip itinerary with real, dated costs and rules, not generic travel-blog adviceA travel-planning brief that requires current, dated figures for costs, visa requirements, and safety advisories with sources, explicitly distinguishing what's currently accurate from what a generic travel article might repeat from years ago.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-19Build a sourced regulatory-requirement checklist for a specific jurisdiction and activityA research aid — not legal advice — that maps the specific, currently-in-force regulatory requirements applying to a defined business activity in a named jurisdiction, with each requirement tied to its source statute or regulator and a flag on anything pending or under review.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-07-31Check a health or treatment claim against clinical evidence, not anecdote or marketingAn evidence-tiering prompt — explicitly not medical advice — that requires a health or treatment claim to be checked against clinical-trial evidence specifically, with anecdotal and marketing-sourced claims flagged and ranked separately rather than blended into one confidence level.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro (Academic focus)2026-08-06Explain a technical concept grounded in official documentation, not third-party tutorialsA technical-explainer prompt that requires every claim about a specific tool, API, or protocol's behavior to be checked against its own official documentation or source, with third-party tutorials explicitly used only to check for outdated or version-specific drift.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-08-07Check a breaking or fast-moving story before sharing it, with a timestamp on every sourceA live-event verification prompt built for genuinely fast-moving stories, requiring a publish timestamp on every source and an explicit split between what multiple outlets have confirmed and what is still single-sourced or unconfirmed, so an early report doesn't get treated as settled fact.Perplexity Pro (Sonar Pro)Perplexity Pro Search2026-08-08Turn a pile of open tabs into a credibility scorecard instead of a gut-feel judgment callA Comet browsing brief that scores each source you've gathered on independence, track record, and how directly it addresses the claim — instead of letting the most confidently written page win by default.Perplexity Comet2026-08-08Fact-check a specific claim by making Comet show its browsing trail, not just its verdictA verification prompt that requires Comet to name what it actually checked, where the primary source lives, and what a good-faith opposing reading would look like — instead of a flat true/false with no visible work.Perplexity Comet2026-08-09Pull every citable claim out of a page (or thread of pages) into a table with exact quotes and provenanceA structured extraction prompt for Comet that separates verbatim quotes from paraphrase, keeps page-level provenance for each one, and flags anything that can't be traced back to where it's attributed — built for anyone assembling a sourced document from multiple browser tabs.Perplexity Comet2026-08-10Find where your sources actually disagree before you write something that pretends they don'tA cross-source audit prompt for Comet that hunts specifically for contradictions between the pages you've gathered — on numbers, dates, causes, and attribution — rather than producing a synthesis that smooths disagreement into false consensus.Perplexity Comet2026-08-11Run a background check on a vendor or counterparty before you're the one explaining why nobody checkedA phased due-diligence brief for Comet covering public record, reputation, litigation history, and financial-stability signals — built so the research task can't quietly stop at whatever the company's own site says about itself.Perplexity Comet2026-08-12Lay two competing accounts of the same story side by side without letting one quietly win by defaultA short, direct comparison prompt for when two sources tell meaningfully different versions of the same event — built to keep both accounts intact and visible rather than blending them into whichever one Comet found more persuasive.Perplexity Comet2026-08-13Run a pre-publish verification pass so a factual mistake doesn't ship because nobody re-checked the draftA final-pass checklist prompt for Comet that re-verifies every checkable claim in a near-final draft against live sources, rather than trusting whatever was verified when the draft was first written.Perplexity Comet2026-08-14
