Perplexity Command Workflows – Research, Sources, Spaces, and Answer Checks
Lesson 1: Command Thinking in Perplexity – Questions, Modes, and Spaces
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Phrase research as command-style requests with scope, sources, and format.
- Choose a mode deliberately for each request.
- Use Space instructions as saved commands.
Lesson Content
In Perplexity, the most reliable "commands" are well-structured research requests:
- Verb and question: "List," "Compare," "Find original sources for."
- Scope: place, time frame, audience.
- Source rules: official, academic, reputable, or vendor pages.
- Format: table, checklist, five bullets, with citations.
Pair each request with a mode (quick search, Pro or deeper research) and, for recurring topics, a Space whose instructions act as a saved command.
