We’re re-doing our Perplexity for Genealogy presentation into a two-hour long session–complete with handout. Our focus is on a practical, down-to-earth approach. You’ll be able to play the video more than once and see research approaches that are easy-to-follow
New examples, new families, new prompts, with a continued focus on practical, down-to-earth application of AI for genealogy—focused on Perplexity. Perplexity is a combined search engine and research assistant that uses large language models to answers questions, summarize content, and create responses to queries. Thoughtful genealogists do not use AI to replace their brain—they use it to preform tasks more quickly than they can and with precise attention to detail.
Our presentation will use the free version of Perplexity. Order now for delivery on 1 October 2025.
