I recently used Perplexity’s Deep Research function in a way that completely changed how I find information. The trick? Ask the AI to build the perfect research prompt first.
💡 Why this works:
AI knows how to structure queries for maximum depth and accuracy, uncovering sources you’d never think to look for.
For example:
📌 Finding cutting-edge ME/CFS research for my wife. Standard searches gave us the usual results, but AI-led Deep Research surfaced German and Greek studies—expanding our understanding beyond English-language bias.
📌 Market research for AI Nearby, my AI consultancy. AI-generated prompts revealed niche reports and case studies that were buried under typical search results.
🔥 How to Use This for Your Own Research:
✅ Step 1: Ask AI to write the best possible Deep Research query. (E.g., “How should I phrase my query to get academic & non-English sources on X?”)
✅ Step 2: Refine it with keywords like "systematic review" or "latest breakthroughs."
✅ Step 3: Watch for AI biases—always verify sources!
This approach transformed how I research, and I highly recommend trying it. 🚀
