Learn 80% of Perplexity in under 10 minutes!
Jeff Su. Jeff opens with the spectrum the article hinges on — ChatGPT and Gemini at the "creative" end, Perplexity and Google Search at the "accurate, real-time, sourced" end — and then shows you the third option in action. The Olympics-medals comparison in the middle is the cleanest "this is when you ask a chatbot, this is when you Google" demo we've seen. After watching, you'll have a third tool in your search routine and a working rule for picking between the three.
AI Expert note
Perplexity and Google interfaces will move, but the decision rule is stable: use sourced search for fresh facts and verification, use chat for drafting and reasoning, and check primary sources when accuracy matters.
What you should get from this
Choose between search, answer engines and chatbots based on source needs, freshness and the cost of being wrong.

Coursera · DeepLearning.AIGenerative AI for Everyone
Real time inside an LLM, learning to prompt deliberately and recognise where generative AI is genuinely useful versus where it's a trap. Calm, no-hype teaching — the perfect bridge from "I've tried ChatGPT once" to "I use it every day with confidence."
Coursera · DeepLearning.AI + AWSGenerative AI with Large Language Models
When practitioners ask "what should I take if I'm serious about building with LLMs?", this is the answer. Mathematically honest without being a research paper; AWS-flavoured deployment chapters stay useful even if you'll never touch SageMaker.
Anthropic AcademyMCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic
MCP is the protocol that's quietly replacing one-off tool integrations across the AI tooling ecosystem. Learn it from the source.
