What This Course Is

Perplexity AI is an AI-powered answer engine that combines large language models with real-time web search to provide accurate, cited answers to any question. Unlike traditional search engines that return links, Perplexity synthesizes information from multiple sources into a coherent answer with inline citations. It offers Focus modes (Academic, Writing, Social, Video), Pro Search for multi-step reasoning, Spaces for organized research, Collections for persistent context, and the Perplexity API (Sonar models) for developers.

This course takes you from "I just tried Perplexity search" all the way to "I build production research pipelines with the Perplexity API." Every lesson explains why the topic matters, walks through how it works, gives a real-world example, surfaces common mistakes, and ends with an exercise plus an optional professional challenge.

The curriculum tracks Perplexity's current state as of August 2026: Sonar models (online and offline), Pro Search, Focus modes, Spaces, Collections, Pages, image generation, Perplexity Pro ($20/month) and Enterprise Pro, and the Perplexity API for developers.
