Your Research Query Library
The queries that produce great Perplexity results are worth saving. Within a few weeks you will have a library of 20-30 proven queries for your domain. This library is your research system.
Organize it by research type:
- Market research: size, growth, players, trends, disruption risks
- Competitive analysis: strengths, weaknesses, recent moves, positioning
- Technology evaluation: capabilities, limitations, adoption, alternatives
- Due diligence: company background, financials, team, risks
- Academic: current state, debates, methodology gaps
The Personal Knowledge Base
Claude Projects lets you create a persistent context for an ongoing research area. Upload your key research documents and Claude remembers them across all conversations in that project.
# Set up in a Claude Project:
You are my research assistant for [specific domain].
I have uploaded the following reference documents:
- [Document 1]: [what it covers]
- [Document 2]: [what it covers]
When I ask questions:
1. Draw on the uploaded documents first
2. Clearly indicate when you are reasoning from
the documents vs from general knowledge
3. If the documents do not cover the question,
say so explicitly
My research goals: [describe your ongoing focus]
When to Use Which Tool
| Tool | Best For |
|---|
| Perplexity | Current facts, recent news, cited claims, market data |
| Claude | Analysis, synthesis, frameworks, reasoning across documents |
| Claude Projects | Ongoing research areas with persistent context |
| Google Scholar | Academic papers, peer-reviewed research |
Day 5 ExerciseBuild Your Research System
- Create a research query library — one document organized by research type.
- Save all the Perplexity queries and Claude prompts from this course that you will reuse.
- Set up a Claude Project for your most active research area. Upload 2-3 key documents.
- Run a research task through the full system: Perplexity for facts, Claude for synthesis, Claude Projects for continuity.
Course Complete — AI-Powered Research
- Perplexity for current, cited facts. Claude for analysis, synthesis, and frameworks.
- The two-tool brief workflow: gather with Perplexity, synthesize with Claude, in under 90 minutes.
- High-value analysis prompts: pattern detection, devil's advocate, hypothesis generation, implications.
- Research query library and Claude Projects knowledge base that compound over time.
