Free Perplexity AI Business Foundations Clinic | Adelaide
About this Event
Another practical AI Pop-Up by AI Expertise
Free Perplexity AI Business Foundations Clinic | Adelaide
Bring your laptop. Bring your biggest research challenge. Leave with Perplexity giving you fast, reliable answers you can actually trust.
Ever asked an AI a question and wondered, quietly, whether it just made the whole thing up? That’s the exact problem Perplexity was built to solve.
Perplexity isn’t a chatbot — it’s an answer engine. It searches the live web and cites its sources on every single reply, so you can click through and check the facts yourself. For real business research, that changes everything.
It can also run a full Deep Research report on a topic — reading across dozens of sources and handing you a structured, cited briefing in minutes instead of an afternoon lost to Googling. Most owners have no idea it exists, let alone how to point it at their business.
That’s exactly why we created The Perplexity AI Business Foundations Clinic.
This free, hands-on community pop-up is designed for Adelaide business owners, sole traders, freelancers and professionals who want faster, more reliable research — not another AI sales pitch or technical lecture.
Instead of overwhelming you with endless tools and jargon, we’ll help you understand where Perplexity can make a real difference in your business — and how it fits alongside the AI you already use.
Every clinic is different because every business is different. Bring one real research job that’s slowing you down and we’ll work through practical ways Perplexity can help.

Who Should Attend?
This clinic is ideal for:
• Small business owners
• Sole traders
• Trades and service businesses
• Retailers

No previous AI or research background is required. If you can use email, you can attend this clinic.
What We’ll Cover
This isn’t about learning AI for the sake of it. It’s about solving real business problems.
Together we’ll explore practical ways Perplexity can help you:
• Get answers backed by clickable, verifiable sources — so you stop second-guessing whether the AI made it up
• Run your first Deep Research report — a structured, cited briefing in minutes instead of an afternoon of Googling
• Map competitors — pricing, positioning, reviews, sentiment and gaps — into decision-ready insight
• Build cited briefings on prospects and industries so your outreach lands without invented details
• Set up Spaces so recurring research — like weekly competitor tracking or regulation changes — runs the same way every time
• Upload your own PDFs, spreadsheets and documents (on Pro) and ask questions across them
• Switch on the right privacy settings before you research anything sensitive
• Work out where Perplexity is the right tool — and where ChatGPT or Claude is a better fit
We’ll also cover how to read citations critically — spotting a weak source before you rely on it — so you research with real confidence.
Bring a Challenge Like These
Many people come to us saying:
• “I waste hours Googling competitor pricing and positioning.”
• “I never know if the AI’s answer is real or made up.”
• “I need to research prospects before I reach out — without guessing.”
• “I want to keep up with my industry but never find the time.”
• “I’ve got PDFs and reports I need to actually get answers from.”
• “I already use ChatGPT — when should I reach for Perplexity instead?”
If any of those sound familiar, this clinic was designed for you.
How the Clinic Works
This isn’t a lecture. It isn’t a sales seminar. It isn’t a demonstration where you simply sit and watch.
It’s a practical implementation clinic.
We’ll introduce the fundamentals, demonstrate practical business applications, answer your questions and help you apply Perplexity to real research from your own business.
If your challenge can be solved during the clinic, we’ll help you solve it. If it’s too large to complete on the day, you’ll leave with a repeatable workflow so you know exactly how to run it yourself.
Questions Business Owners Ask Us
I already use ChatGPT. Why would I bother with Perplexity?
Perplexity is an answer engine: it searches the live web and cites its sources on every answer, so it’s built for research and fact-finding. ChatGPT is stronger for open-ended drafting and brainstorming. Most owners end up using both, and we help you pick the right tool for each job.
Does Perplexity actually show where its answers come from?
Yes — every answer lists the sources it drew from, with links you can click through and verify. The real skill is reading those citations critically, and at the clinic we show you how to spot a weak source before you rely on it.
What is Deep Research, and when should I use it?
Deep Research sets Perplexity running many searches, reading across dozens of sources and returning a structured, cited report. Use it for anything you’d normally spend an afternoon Googling — competitor scans, market sizing, buyer and industry research. We run one live on your topic.
Do I need Perplexity Pro, or is the free version enough?
Free is fine for everyday cited search. Pro unlocks smarter models, more Deep Research runs, file uploads and Spaces. Bring your use case and we’ll tell you honestly whether the upgrade is worth it for you.
Can Perplexity read my own documents, PDFs and spreadsheets?
On Pro, yes — you can upload PDFs, spreadsheets and docs and ask questions across them. We show you how to do it safely so the answers are grounded in your own material, not just the open web.
What are Spaces, and how do businesses use them?
Spaces let you save a research context — files, trusted sources and instructions — so a recurring job like weekly competitor tracking runs the same way every time. We help you set up one Space you can actually reuse.
Is it safe to research clients, suppliers or sensitive topics?
Mostly — but there are privacy and data-retention settings worth understanding before you paste anything sensitive. We walk you through the precise controls to switch on first.
I’ve watched videos about Perplexity. Why come to a clinic?
Videos can teach features. Our clinics help you apply Perplexity to your own business. You’ll ask questions, work through a real research job and get practical guidance based on your situation — not a generic tutorial.

To keep them practical, interactive and valuable, numbers are intentionally limited.
Although each pop-up clinic runs for two hours, attendees book into one-hour timeslots so everyone receives personalised guidance, has time to ask questions and gets the most value from the session.
