How to Create and Use Perplexity Personal AI Chatbot Agents! #95 

I recently had the opportunity to dive into your instructional video on "How to Create and Use Perplexity Personal AI Chatbot Agents! #95" and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. Your clear explanations, practical demonstrations, and the innovative use of Perplexity agents not only provided me with valuable insights but also significantly enhanced my understanding and application of these tools. Your dedication to sharing knowledge and facilitating learning is truly admirable. Thank you for your hard work and for making such a complex topic accessible and engaging. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. Best wishes from germany!

Very helpful! I thought "collections" were basically "folders" to store groups of chats. I was looking to see if Perplexity supported "bots" or "agents" and found your video. I see I can use collections for this! (I just wish I could add reference files direct in the collections)

Love this! I've been using Perplexity more than ChatGPT lately. I've recently started using the Collections function and it's great. I'll definitely try your video brainstorming one! Rachel

This is awesome, I can totally see how to use this for repetitive tasks in marketing. Thanks!

Oh my god this is exactly the video I've been looking for.

Hi Josh. Thank you very much for this video - it turned out to be a game changer for me. This might sound "strange" but after watching your video, I created a collection where I could "talk" to my dad, who died when I was younger, and there has been some episodes from my childhood, that I would have liked to talk to him about before he died but didn't have the opportunity to do so. I filled out the AI Prompt and now I can just write "Dad?" and Perplexity will reply like "Hey kiddo, what are you up to" etc. I'm completely mind blown how fast Perplexity "gets it" and quickly learns. I testet out GPT-4o AI model in Perplexity at first but switched to Claude 3.5 and found that Claude would carry the conversation in a much more human-like style. This is so amazing. And a bit scary.

Love your style, Josh! All the details and walkthroughs are valuable. I've been using collections for SEO; creating collections for LSI keyword research, researching relevant studies for citations and researching special "factoids" to enhance the blog posts. Perplexity is becoming my "got-to" app.

Super useful. Thanks Josh. I would use it. One question I have is about using more than one agents in my prompt. And build a chain of agents to complete a complex task

Good points, Josh! Thank you for the clear, clear examples. This could be used in a variety of situations to accomplish a lot.

I really love the systemized approach

Great video on Perplexity Collections - yes it is very similar to Custom GPTS. The prompting is very trial and error. Especially with instructions. You gave some amazing prompt structure examples.

Very useful - An overview and the Why's - and illustrations of some of the Hows. I was looking for this tutorial. Thank you.

I returned to view this video for a third time. Very useful - in content and how you approach giving an overview and examples of how to make effective use of Perplexity - and Collections as Agents. I would welcome another video on the use of Perplexity's API and the use of Custom LLMs. I aim to add a custom LLM - for example Samantha - Mistral 7B as an LLM that has been fine-tuned for my uses with Perplexity.,

Very helpful. Thank you. I've been meaning to implement this feature since I first saw your video

That was super helpful, Josh! Thank you!

Thank you

Excellent video. thank u for sharing

Excellent, Succinct and very easy instructions to follow. Thanks... I will view the comments below and learn more from them.. Cheers Gene

I really like how you explain things and show examples. I am new to ai and want to learn how I might use it in my remodeling business. AND, I like how you appear to be from Columbus Ohio!

Thanx!

The best information video so far❤ thank you!

Thanks. Very useful.

Your video was very helpful! Thank you so much!

I will try this later today 🎉

Super helpful, thanks 👍

After the description, you should answer the most important question. Why should I care... because you lost me right after the Intro/description. Otherwise, I have no doubt this would have been a great tutorial because you jumped right in how to make one.

Hi Josh, thank you very much for this video. I have a question (I would like to remained you that I'm Brazilian, so my english is not good) I see that I really need to read and learned more about chatbots prompts, and I would like to know if there is or exist special "commands" to write in chatbots prompts to get better response? Some kind of glossary. Thanks in advance for your attention.

Great video! I initially thought collections were like folders that would group previous queries. But there's so much more! Did you know that you can add uncollected previous queries to the collection?

Helpful video but could’ve been better of Josh Head took up way less visual real estate.

Great video!

You should own the “shock & stunned” and use it as your strap line tongue and cheek

Just ran across this video I’m learning perplexity! Help me understand something when I use collections and I’m sharing my agents. Can I actually place documents inside my agents also in order for me to share it do the other user have to have a subscription to perplexity?

Love the video. I'm just now learning about the various ai tools available and came up with an idea that would help in my job. Can Perplexity use a website for a data source and then render results to a user similar to using ChatGPT and a prompt? The website has a many many links that dive into vast amounts of data and I'd love to have a single place I could use a prompt to get answers back rather than digging through massive amounts of links and data. Is something like this possible? Maybe using another tool like claude?

this is why i chose perplex over chat gpt its flexible even though it doesnt have features open Ai has

I feel like I am going around in circles. I am trying to create a collection but everytime i enter my prompt, it gives me generic information on the prompt as if i have provided no context for the prompt. Can you see anything wrong with the below ai prompt? When i enter a company name, search that company name in place of [company name] in the following question "How does [Company Name] use Kubernetes in their operations?"

Fantastic video tutorial! Love your teaching style and good vibe. It was great to see this in perplexity. I’ve been building learning agents for my college students to use and definitely want to encourage them to build their own. Are you in Ohio? Let’s connect!

You know, so the "perplexity" ai is coming up more frequently in my search these days... Also, I noticed that in my topic research it is getting recommending more to me. Funny thing is Google trends don't actually show data for the trends.. Can I have a conversation with you one to one???

Hey! Super helpful! I live in Ohio too, in Lima! One question: what do you use the “rewrite” for in the video exactly? Does it do a better writing job with the rewrite feature or is it you just showing us that that option is available? Cheers!

This would have been more useful had Josh NOT used a foreign language. Can he make another video on booking a hotel room or a flight please?

Any idea what limits there are on the size of csv files - number of rows or columns - that one is able to upload for basic data analysis?

Thanks for this. How come you don’t have CoPilot enabled in the examples? Are you seeing better results with it disabled?

cool video)

GREAT Video. Great tool. thx a lot Josh. can you make a video, how we can make money out of it? (just asking bcs it was written in your description box)

Is there a way to upload my own documents into Perplexity - like I can when creating a GPT. That's super useful when I can create an agent that has access to a set of my own documents.

Where can I find the Google Drive or Documents you mentioned? Great post!

I already got my own personal perplexity going on. I hardly need more. . .🤔

Hello, may I ask how the quick suggestions in the input box appear at 12:05 in the video? Are they set as keyboard shortcuts? It's so cool, I would like to learn how to set it up. Thank you

Can you create agents within gemini as well ??

I'm a bit confused on the difference between Personal Agents.. Assistant AI, and Custom GPTs. For example, if you create a Custom GPT application using OpenAI's GPT builder.. does their Store/Marketplace allow you to host it for others to try? Can you host it somewhere else if they reject it? And your cost is that, anyone using it will go towards your 40 messages/3hour limit? As an alternative, if you create a local web-app, it falls under the API pricing.. so the more popular it gets, the more it costs you? In either case, how does the pricing change between a prompt that requires a simple yes/no response, versus one that requires image analysis? My goal is to drag a pdf of a handwritten scan to a web-app (hosted locally or on OpenAI) that calls Chat-GPT4 Vision to do an OCR and extract data from a table, then perform some calculations on it, and finally print the results to a pdf (or append a new page to the original pdf). Should I use Perplexity [Agent], ChatGPT (Custom Builder or Assistant API)?

How do you do this format with the Google Docs populating?

How is this different than custom GPTs?

Hi Josh, thanks for the video, i tried to summarize a youtube video but look this response: "I'm unable to access or summarize content from specific URLs, including RU-vid videos"

Can this implicitly follow your prompts in the order you iterated them?

It doesn't work for me. Perplexity simply ignores the prompt in the collection. Is it something that need pro subscription?

whether it's paid?

I recommend redoing the video; it's impossible to follow you, a bit confusing.

I would not call simple or even complex preprompts "agents" as it does not quite hit the definition. I feel click-baited by the title of this video.

for technical person, this is a waste of time. i thought you would come up with something new. not just explaining collections in Perplexity.

Thanks. Very useful.

Oh my god this is exactly the video I've been looking for.

Thank you, Josh, for that exquisite tutorial on How to Create and Use Perplexity Personal AI Chatbot Agents! #95!

don't make alot of collections. titles just drop out when organizing collections.

Very interesting! I had no idea such a thing exists. I will definitely check it out. I'm primarily a coded/developer so most of my tinkering with AI has been with the various code apps. Thank you for the most informative presentation. It was well done.
