Most research isn't a one-off query — it's a topic you track for weeks. Here's how professionals set up Perplexity Spaces.
Most professionals don't have one-off research questions. They have topics — a competitor, a market, a regulation — that they track for months. A single chat conversation is the wrong shape for that. A Perplexity Space is the right one.
Space: Competitor — Acme Analytics
Instructions:
- I am a product manager at Orbit, a competitor to Acme.
- Track Acme's product launches, pricing changes, leadership
moves, and customer wins.
- Prioritize primary sources: Acme's own site, SEC filings,
press releases, founder interviews.
- Deprioritize: Forbes contributor posts, aggregators.
- In every answer: list the source URL and the date.
Sources to always include:
- acme.com/blog
- acme.com/press
- Acme CEO's LinkedIn
Sources to exclude:
- Medium posts older than 12 months
- Reddit threads without named commentersA Perplexity Space configured like a research analyst, not a search engine. Keeps quality high across weeks of queries.| Tool | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Perplexity Spaces | Current web facts with sources | Synthesis depth |
| Claude with search on | Reasoning across sources | Citations can lag |
| ChatGPT Deep Research | Long, structured reports | Time cost per query |
The big idea: treat research as topics, not questions. A well-configured Perplexity Space per topic turns scattered searches into a compounding, citable knowledge base.
