1. Ask

Start with any question, big or small. No need to craft a perfect prompt—Perplexity understands plain language and conversation. Begin exploring right away!

Example: “Explain Porter’s Five Forces using Nike as a quick example."

2. Review

Perplexity gives clear, sourced responses (when available). Scan the answer, check references, and note details that help you learn or solve the task.

Example: "Good structure; lacks citations, data points, and concrete Nike-specific examples.."

3. Revise

Refine your question for richer results—add context, clarify needs, or ask a follow-up. Great answers come from a quick loop in the same chat box.

Example: “Add one example per force and link two credible, current sources."
