AI QUICK TIP

✨ How To Create & Use Perplexity Pages

With the release of Perplexity pages, we thought it would be fitting to ask Perplexity how to use the new feature & turn that response into a page.

Kind of like Perplexity inception.

As Perplexity explains, you can make a new page by turning a previous search into a page OR by selecting page from the library and enter a prompt or topic you want to create a page about.

Perplexity will start generating the page instantly, scanning billions of web pages to find relevant information, images, and videos on the topic.

If you want to turn your previous search into a page its as easy as clicking the search and in the top right corner clicking “Convert to Page”.

Perplexity will then get to work, turning the result into a page that can be shared. Just like we did here (link)
