Perplexity for Beginners: A Source-First Workflow
References checked: 5 October 2026

Task: Which official page confirms this product change?
Inputs: [provide a focused question, intended reader, and date boundary]
Audience: [intended reader]
Required result: a short answer with checked evidence.
Use approved sources and preserve dates, definitions, conditions, and exceptions. Separate confirmed facts, interpretation, and unresolved questions. Do not invent missing details. Show the evidence needed to review consequential claims. Ask one focused question if a missing requirement blocks the result.
Acceptance checks:
- The answer resolves the question
- Event and publication dates are distinct
- Availability qualifiers survive
- Unknown details remain unknown

Practice
Compare broad and narrow queries about a familiar feature. Record a claim you could verify.
