What you'll learn

AI assistants are most useful when they can search the web, remember context, and take action on your behalf. Perplexity layers all three on top of multiple frontier models. In this course, Perplexity Search and Agentic Features, you'll learn to use Perplexity as more than just a search-grounded chatbot. First, you'll explore the model selector, Model Council, and scheduled searches that route prompts to the right model at the right time. Next, you'll discover context-aware features like Memory, Connectors, and the Comet browser for working with your own data and the open web. Finally, you'll learn how to use agentic tools like Perplexity Computer, Personal Computer, and the API to automate multi-step tasks. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge of Perplexity needed to pick the right feature for each job in your daily workflows.
