Love it! 🤝
So, played with it and it works just as described - I'll try some other use cases! Perplexity is really helpful in many ways. I am exploring tasks right now for newsletter and RSS summaries
Duh - I completely forgot that I can just add master prompts wherever I feel like it! Thanks for being patient!!!
haha you’re all good! since it’s all a Lindy agent behind the scene you can have that agent use your master prompt if you want to. It makes kicking off tasks for me pretty handy. Random example: Lets say I had a meeting with a client last week but I forgot some details and want to send him a message… I could send a slack message to my @crm agent, tell him to check my mail, the meeting recording and search perplexity if necessary in order to find that info, then get that doc with client communication instructions & draft the message in Gmail for me. The other thing I like about having an agent use perplexity for me is, that it is not as lazy and will try multiple search queries for me to find the best information. Pretty close to being my personal assistant sitting in slack
100% - but I am still struggling (and I promise I am not being difficult on purpose) why this is a good use case for Slack? Every single model we use is personalized as much as humanly possible - for example, they all share the same master prompt and our context engineering leads to vastly improved and relevant results. When I am using Perplexity via Slack, all of that context disappears, no? I am now just adding an interface in front of the model, at extra cost, and at reduced quality of outcome. Am I massively misunderstanding something here?
… I mean opportunities are endless here Andreas D.
Check on competitors and find unhappy customers you can have the agent reach out to
research prospects & have it update your CRM
Well now you have an agent that can do anything for you incl. using Perplexity (without you actually using it)
So now I can do what I can already do in Perplexity, but at an extra cost? Not to be snarky, but I am struggling to see the application here?
