Perplexity as Your Secret Ops
Use Perplexity for Business Automation
Your competition isn’t necessarily outworking you, they might just be out-automating you.
I’ve been obsessed with finding ways to streamline workflows, and I was floored when I saw how one expert is using Perplexity to do just that. The original poster shared a brilliant framework that turns this powerful research tool into a full-blown automation assistant for your business.

Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels. Plus, easier access to self-serve CTV ad buying tools and targeting options will lead to a surge in locally-targeted streaming campaigns.
Read our guide to find out why growth marketers should make sure CTV is part of their 2026 media mix.
The secret isn’t just asking Perplexity questions. It’s about giving it specific, structured prompts to generate entire systems, checklists, and templates that you can deploy immediately. You’re not just getting answers; you’re building operational assets. The mind behind it has essentially unlocked a way to use Perplexity as an on-demand operations consultant, and the results are incredible!
Here’s a deeper look at what you can achieve:
Supercharge Your HR and Onboarding
Instead of building onboarding plans from scratch, you can use a prompt to generate a complete, role-specific checklist. The post’s author suggests you can create a workflow that covers everything from Day 1 IT setup to a 90-day performance review schedule. This saves your HR team dozens of hours and ensures every new hire gets a consistent, high-quality experience.
Accelerate Your Sales and Support
Imagine automating the creation of email templates for your entire sales pipeline. This LinkedIn creator highlights how you can use Perplexity to draft responses for common customer inquiries, follow-ups for leads at different stages, and even proposals. This frees up your sales team to focus on building relationships instead of writing repetitive emails, directly accelerating your deal flow.
Master Your Project Management
This is one of my favorite applications. You can feed Perplexity a summary of your team’s weekly progress and ask it to draft a project status update for stakeholders. The creator even shared prompts for analyzing your workflow to identify bottlenecks. By asking, “Based on these tasks and deadlines, where are the biggest risks for delay?” you can get proactive recommendations to keep your projects on track.

A Word of Caution
Of course, the power of this system lies in the quality of your prompts. The more detailed and contextual your request, the better the output will be. Think of it as a brilliant but junior assistant: it needs clear instructions and you should always give its work a final review before implementing it. The goal is assistance, not blind automation.
