A short YouTube demo arguing that Perplexity AI can replace traditional search for most entrepreneurs. The presenter demonstrates live features: quick web summaries and graphs, bookmarks/Ads-like view, a voice assistant, connectors to common tools (WhatsApp, GitHub, Dropbox, Outlook, Linear, Notion), automatic summarization of financial/annual reports, and an ability to book flights. The video positions Perplexity as an automation platform that, once configured (mentions downloading "Comet"), can handle research, document summarization, tool integrations, and travel booking to save entrepreneurs time.
Google it is dead and I'm going to showcase to you today why Perplexity has taken over my usage from a search engines point of view and should do for 99% of you entrepreneurs out there. Not only can it do basic tasks, let's ask it what's the weather in New York whilst it's doing that and we're waiting for the response, it won't take long, does a little bit of deep research, comes with a pretty graph. You can also see top right that there is all of the bookmarks that you would have from a Google Ads perspective, all of them. Now what this also has is access to a few cool tools which is summarize web pages, voice assistant which we'll get to and this beautiful little button at the sidebar say you're out there, you're looking at competitors, you're looking at their offers, you're looking at research docs, analysis documents, you've got profit and losses or on things in sheets which I'm going to get to shortly. Profit and losses in sheets that you want summaries on. This is your friend. But one of the key things that I want to show you is connectors and inside of connectors you can connect literally any tool that you, that you want that they have the ability to, to add. So available connectors, WhatsApp, GitHub, Dropbox, Outlook, linear notion, like the big boys that are common at the moment, they're all here. But I just said your job is to read the, the annual finance report and give me 10 key takeaways and this is what it came back with. Yeah. So I wanted to make sure that it was bang on for you guys. So you knew. Well, it pulled from a financial document which you could, could be your own, it could be your company's voice, standard operating procedures that you add new members. Now let's jump into something that's really ridiculous. Okay. This is going to change your life forever. Can you book me a flight from London Heathrow business class to New York tomorrow? You can use this tool to book flights for you. It can literally book flights for you. All you've got to do is tell it where you need to go. Perplexity is changing the way that the world works. You need to download Comet. It might feel a little bit alien for a couple of days, but once you have built out these individual systems, it can do anything for you.
