Who trains you

We build Perplexity research workflows, not just in theory.

Most Perplexity trainings are recorded tutorials by people who opened the tool the night before. At Hack'celeration it's the opposite: structuring a client's monitoring into Spaces, turning out usable Deep Research, wiring the Sonar API into Make and n8n to automate research, that's our daily agency work. Everything we teach you, we practice on shipped projects. We know the traps (the weak source cited as gospel, the Deep Research taken at face value) because we've already solved them.

  • We build Perplexity research workflows for clients every week, not just in theory
  • 1-on-1 format: the trainer adapts to your level, from beginner to the tech profile who wants the API
  • We tell you when Perplexity isn't the right tool (sometimes Google or ChatGPT answers better)
  • We start from your real searches and your work, not a dummy example

What you master

Four pillars so Perplexity does your research for real.

A badly used Perplexity means an answer you don't verify, empty Spaces, a Deep Research taken at face value. Most of the trouble comes from how it's used, not the tool. We pick up your real searches and work through the four pillars together.

Certified Hack'celeration trainers

Meet our trainers, leave with a plan.

Drop your email. We get back to you to connect you with a Hack'celeration-certified trainer: we look at your searches, spot where Perplexity can save you time without costing you reliability, and tell you where to start. No commitment, even if you don't take the training.

  • A diagnosis of your searches and current monitoring
  • The first searches to move to Perplexity, in priority order
  • The right 1-on-1 format for your level and your topics
  • An honest take: Perplexity, Google or ChatGPT for your case
How it runs

Your Perplexity program, step by step.

Five steps, no skipping. Each one on your real searches, with a clear deliverable. From the first session we look at your needs and where you lose time. By the end, you run your research with Perplexity without us.

  1. Step 1 · Research-needs audit

    We look at your real searches and where you lose time

    First session, we share your screen and list what you actually search for day to day: monitoring, sourcing, analysis, documented writing. We look at how you do it today (Google, ChatGPT, endless open tabs) and where Perplexity can save you time without costing you reliability. We're honest about where it isn't the right tool. You leave with a clear list of the searches to move to Perplexity, in priority order. No theory, your real cases.

  2. Step 2 · First searches and focus modes

    We phrase your queries and pick the right focus mode

    We tackle the basics, done well. We build your first searches on your real topics, pick the right focus mode (Web, Academic, Reddit, and more), and teach you the key habit: read the citations, not just the answer. We set the right reflexes to follow up, refine and cross-check. By the end, you know how to get a sourced, verifiable answer on your own questions, not a generic example.

  3. Step 3 · Spaces and shared knowledge

    We build your Spaces and open them to your team

    We organize your knowledge. We create your Spaces on your real topics (competitive intel, product docs, prospecting), upload your own files and write the system instructions so Perplexity answers in your context. Then we share them cleanly with your team so everyone searches in the same place. You practice on your own topics. You finish with ready-to-use Spaces and a team that uses them.

  4. Step 4 · Deep Research and the API

    We run Deep Research and wire the API into your workflows

    This is where Perplexity gets powerful. We scope your Deep Research so it digs into the right angle and returns a cited report, and we turn it into a clean deliverable. Then, if you have the use for it, we wire the API (Sonar models) into your code or into Make and n8n: enrich a lead, monitor a topic, feed a newsletter from fresh sources. This API step is optional: if you don't need code, we spend the time on Deep Research and Spaces.

  5. Step 5 · Autonomy

    You run your research with Perplexity without us

    The number one goal: you become autonomous. By the end of the program, you know how to get sourced answers, pick your focus mode, organize your Spaces, run a Deep Research and wire the API if needed. You no longer need an agency to do AI-assisted research. And if you want to delegate a bigger project later, we also run a Perplexity agency, but that's not the point here.

The proof

Why train 1-on-1 with us.

  • 300+Pros already trained on AI

    More than 300 people have gone through our trainings across France and Europe. Consultants, marketing teams, founders, analysts. Not vanity numbers: people who replaced part of their Google searching with sourced Perplexity work and built real monitoring workflows.

  • 4.7/5Rating across 334 verified reviews

    Average rating of 4.7 out of 5, across 334 reviews. We won't pretend Perplexity replaces your brain: you still have to check the sources, and it still gets things wrong. But the 1-on-1 format makes the difference on knowing exactly when to trust it and when to double-check.

  • 1:1A dedicated expert, not a class of 100

    You're not a number in a webinar. A trainer opens your real searches, looks at your topics and your work, and works through your actual cases. We schedule sessions around your availability, replays included.

FAQ · Perplexity training

The questions we get the most.

  • What is a 1-on-1 Perplexity training?
    An individual program with a Perplexity expert, not a class of 100 people. We open your real searches, look at your topics and your work, and work through your actual cases: sourced answers, focus modes, Spaces, Deep Research, and the API if you have the use for it. You ask your questions live, the trainer adapts the pace to your level. We schedule sessions around your availability, and you leave with concrete actions every time. That's the difference between watching a tutorial and actually building Perplexity into your work.
  • How much does the Perplexity training cost?
    There is no single price. We connect you with a trainer certified by Hack'celeration, matched to your need and your level. It varies from one trainer to another, based on their profile and the format that fits your project.
  • Perplexity, Google or ChatGPT: which one to use?
    It depends on what you're after. Perplexity shines when you want a synthesized, sourced answer to a real question: it cites its sources, which Google doesn't and which ChatGPT only does well when it browses. Google is still better for finding a specific site, an official page, or shopping. ChatGPT keeps the edge for writing, brainstorming or coding from its own knowledge. The right move is rarely one tool: in training, we help you know which to reach for by task, and to cross-check when the stakes are high.
  • What is Deep Research and when to use it?
    Deep Research is the Perplexity mode that runs dozens of searches, reads the sources and hands you a structured, cited report, where a simple question just gives you a short answer. It's built for topics that need digging: market study, monitoring brief, tool comparison, scoping note. The catch: it takes a few minutes and it still gets things wrong sometimes, so you have to read it with a critical eye. In training, we teach you to scope the query so it digs into the right angle and to turn the report into a clean deliverable.
  • What are Spaces and what are they for?
    Spaces (formerly Collections) are spaces where you file your research by topic, where you can upload your own files, and where you give Perplexity system instructions so it answers in your context. Concretely, it turns Perplexity into a living knowledge base: a competitive-intel Space, a product-docs Space, a prospecting Space. And you can share them with your team so everyone searches in the same place with the same rules. In training, we build your Spaces on your real topics and write the system prompts that fit your work.
  • Is Perplexity Pro worth it?
    It depends on your usage. The free version is enough for occasional sourced searches. Pro unlocks heavy use of the best models, more Deep Research, model choice (different AIs behind the answer), and uploading larger files. If you research every day, want rich Spaces and regular Deep Research, Pro pays for itself fast. If it's occasional, stay on free. In training, we look at your real volume and tell you honestly whether Pro is worth it for you, without pushing you to buy.
  • What is the Perplexity API and who needs it?
    The Perplexity API (Sonar models) lets you call sourced, up-to-date answers from your own code or your no-code tools. You need it if you want to automate research: enrich leads with fresh info, monitor a topic and store the results, feed a newsletter from recent sources. It wires into Make or n8n without necessarily coding. In training, we set up your keys, pick the right Sonar model per call, and build a real workflow on your case. This part is optional: if you don't need to automate, we spend the time elsewhere.
  • Can you trust Perplexity's answers and sources?
    Largely, as long as you keep the habit of checking. Perplexity's edge over most AIs is that it cites its sources: you can click and verify where the info comes from, which sharply cuts the risk of hallucination. But it isn't magic: it can misread a source, cite a weak one, or miss a nuance. On a high-stakes topic, always cross-check. In training, we teach you exactly that: read the citations, spot a shaky source and cross-check fast, so you can lean on Perplexity without getting burned.
  • Do I need to be technical to take the Perplexity training?
    Not for the core. Sourced answers, focus modes, Spaces and Deep Research run in a simple interface, with no code, and that's where we spend most of the time for most profiles. To wire the API into Make, n8n or your code, a bit of technical comfort helps, but the 1-on-1 format starts from your exact level: beginner, we go step by step; tech profile, we jump straight to the API and workflows. You learn exactly the layer you need, no more.
  • Is the training online or in person?
    100% online, over video, 1-on-1. You join the sessions from anywhere, we share your screen and your real searches live. Sessions are recorded if you want to revisit them. The individual format means real interaction: you're not a number in a webinar of 100, the trainer answers your questions about your own topics and your work. That's what makes learning concrete on a tool that moves as fast as Perplexity.
