Students now have specialized access to Perplexity's suite of tools, including early access to the new Comet Browser. This is more than just a search engine; it's an AI-powered research assistant and an "agentic" browser that can perform multi-step tasks, summarize content on any webpage, and guide learning with a focus on source citation and verifiable information.
This session will include:
- An overview of Perplexity's core functionality as a research and writing tool that prioritizes sourced, accurate answers.
- The "agentic" capabilities of the Comet Browser and how students may leverage it to automate research, summarize complex readings, and organize academic work.
- A discussion and brainstorm on strategies for integrating or addressing these tools within your curriculum.
Join us to understand this evolving landscape, guiding your students to succeed by responsibly leveraging these cutting-edge, source-based technologies.
