Usage Examples

Prompt Template

To use this workflow for [RESEARCH_TOPIC], start by using Perplexity to search for relevant sources, prioritizing quality. Create a Perplexity space named '[PROJECT_NAME]' to organize sources like [REPORTS], [STUDIES], or [ARTICLES]. Import key sources into NotebookLM and ask questions such as: 
1. 'What are the major trends in [TOPIC]?' 
2. 'What insights can be derived from the imported data?' 
3. 'What are the gaps in current [MARKET/AUDIENCE/PRODUCT] offerings?'
Finally, verify insights via Perplexity for cross-checking with open web data.

Example Output

For a project on 'AI in Healthcare', the workflow identifies trends like increased use of AI for diagnostics, gathers feedback from practitioner reviews, and extracts insights on the latest technologies shaping patient care.
