This to me is a combination of Claude Projects, Custom GPTs, and NotebookLM. Perplexity is making moves!

[TaylorCks]

Perplexity helped me so much when comparing different vehicles when making my final choice. It does so much more that I can't even imagine asking.

I found this extremely helpful, more Perplexity videos please. Thank you 🙂

[tekmepikcha]

Basically, Perplexity is catching up with NotebookLM, but adding their own unique twists.

Incredible how fast it is all moving. Thanks, great video.

I never use a search engine anymore. Only Perplexity. She is amazing! 🙂

Thanks for this introduction to Perplexity and Spaces in general. I think their USP would be the possibility to use multiple LLMs through one single chat interface, so good to see they’re willing to catch-up with unique features of other vendors. What I really would like to know is how they’re doing at this point in time when it comes to (realtime) internet #search, because that seemed to be their original USP…? Other vendors did catch-up there, using their own models.

Don't get me wrong, this great news, but this isn't really a brand-new feature. They just rebranded Collections by adding file uploading and calling "Spaces." Everything else has been a feature for a long time.

[jlsaillard]

This looks very much like Anthropic projects with the added web search option.

[adamfroman]

Sounds like they saw Notebook LM and said, “we can do that to”..

[brianWreaves]

The power of Spaces, previously called "Collections", can be used even further to create mini AI agents.

I wrote an article explaining how to do this on Medium called, "Perplexity AI: Collections as Mini AI Agents".

This is the kind of content I’ve been looking for.

Perplexity is awesome. I just can't justify the pro plan without some form monetization like your courses.

[ferreolopez]

I've tried your tips. They didn't work much better than my simple, seasoned prompt chat. While it produces large, complex prompts, in reality, it gets clunky. Like any other chat, the longer you stick to a single conversation - improving it until it gets what you need - it will work better than any complex GPT or lengthy instruction

[BigzampanoXXL]

I am looking for a Tool which supports SQL-DBs (similar to anythingLLM), means having a database with tables which might be quite hard to get good results based on prompts

your best video so far, this is very helpfull to me. Thank you, best wishes from germany!

Nice review! Besides the 25mb file upload size, what's the total token context limit of the documents that you can upload? Are using models like GPT4o and Sonnet 3.5 rate limited? I think if Perplexity adds something like Artifacts to render realtime code, that would be a game changer. That would truly encompass everything that's out there. The only thing left would be to make audio podcasts like NotebookLM or some kind of audio summarizer/teacher that you can listen to on the go.

Thanks a lot for this! I uploaded 32 pdf research articles into Spaces. However, in queries, e.g. requesting to summarize arguments across all files, it only considers a maximum of 5 source files in its answers. Anyone else noticed that?
