Happy Sunday!

Last month, we spotlighted Perplexity AI—a sleeper hit that fuses old-school search with the AI-driven future barreling toward us.

This week, we’re zeroing in on its star feature: Deep Research. It’s free, it’s brilliant, and you’ll wish you’d used it sooner.

Unlike traditional search—clicking through a dozen links hoping to find bits of the information you’re looking for—Perplexity delivers straight answers, pulling from multiple sources, citing them cleanly. No more hunting.

But Deep Research? It’s a game changer. (seriously).

While AI giants like OpenAI lock similar power behind steep paywalls (think $200 a month), Perplexity’s CEO, Aravind Srinivas, flipped the script, handing you advanced, time-slashing insight for free.
 
This isn’t just a feature — It’s a wake-up call to rethink how you find what matters.

WHO SAID IT?

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

🕵 Hint: This founding father cautioned that neglecting thorough study could leave us vulnerable to folly… not wisdom.

TOOL OF THE WEEK

PERPLEXITY DEEP RESEARCH

Your indispensable AI research companion.

Think of it as a librarian crossed with a data scientist—on 10 espressos.

✍️ Fast, Full-Picture Answers – Big meeting looming and time’s ticking? Deep Research hands you a razor-sharp report on the toughest topics—complexity tamed, confidence won.

🤲 Smarter Than Search – Skip the endless scrolling. It connects the dots across articles, reports, and chatter, delivering the “why” behind the hype in plain English.

✅ Insights That Work For You – File your insights in tidy folders, export them as easy-to-read PDFs, or distill them into a go-to playbook that keeps you miles ahead of your peers.

GET STARTED IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS

1️⃣ Choose Your Mode – Perplexity offers four search modes, but for this example, go with “Deep Research”—the sharp, no-nonsense option designed to dig up the insights that matter. (You get 5 free searches per day—more than enough in our experience).

2️⃣ Frame a Sharp Question – Pinpoint your target with a question like, “How are small businesses slashing costs with AI in 2025?” Then sharpen the edge—tack on “Dig up case studies, risks, and overlooked angles” to wring out every drop of deep, actionable gold.

3️⃣ Polish and Profit – Stash the best bits in a folder, shape them into a slick cheat sheet or briefing, and pass it along to own the room like the sharpest mind at the table.

WHY THIS ISN’T JUST ANOTHER DIGITAL TOOL

Your time is worth more than sifting through endless search results for answers that barely scratch the surface.

Deep Research delivers what you need—fast, sharp, actionable insights that let you make expert-level moves while others are still googling (no offense).

You can even set your search browser to Perplexity as a default (the easiest way to integrate it into your daily workflow).

It’s the advantage you didn’t know you were missing.
