TL;DR
What did u/nothingeverhappen use Perplexity Pro for?
For frequent investor research at work, a Perplexity Pro user vibe-coded a button that starts a new search with a long, multi-question prompt. They say each search fetched over 50 sources, including LinkedIn pages, YouTube videos and news sites, and "answered all my questions with one click." In a later comment they mention searches with 140 sources for one answer.
What they did
Work required high-frequency research about investors, so they vibe-coded a button that opens a new Perplexity search pre-filled with a long prompt and multiple questions.
How it went
They say each search fetched over 50 sources, including LinkedIn pages, YouTube videos and news sites, and "answered all my questions with one click." In a later comment they mention searches with 140 sources for one answer.
Worth knowing
- They had dropped Pro for a while over rate limits and pricing, and say that criticism "still stands."
- Price check: Perplexity: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Oct 31, 2026).
