AI Instructor – Perplexity

Teach live online classes on Perplexity as a research tool for work: answers with numbered sources, the right source type for each question, and Spaces a team can share. You teach in English, online from wherever you work, using a ready class kit, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches research with AI tools in live classes for people at work. Your classes take learners from typing a question into a search box to an answer whose every citation they have opened and judged, and to a shared Space that keeps a topic current for their team.

The work

• Teach the live class “Answer a work question with Perplexity and trace every citation”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Set up a Perplexity Space that tracks one topic for your team”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how the same question gives different answers when you pick web, academic or finance sources, and how follow-up questions narrow it down.
• Walk learners through opening each numbered citation, finding the sentence it supports and marking the claims that no source actually backs.
• Help learners whose answer leans on one weak source, mixes up dates or cites a page that has changed, and show them how to ask again.

What to expect

• Every class is live, online and in English, with learners from all over the world, and you can tell us in the application which other languages you teach in.
• Your kit for each class: a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo that traces an answer back to its sources, and a backup recording of that demo.
• You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and a Perplexity account to demo from.
• Before you teach a class for the first time, you pass its instructor test.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• A research question you answered with Perplexity at work, with the sources you kept and the ones you threw out.
• Experience teaching research skills, training analysts or running sessions on finding and checking sources.
• Patience with learners who take the first answer at face value.

You need

• Regular use of Perplexity for research in your own work, including source selection, follow-ups and Spaces.
• A sharp eye for sources: who wrote them, when, and whether they say what the answer claims.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If you need your employer's approval for outside work, get it before accepting any assignment.
• Your teaching depends on how many learners book the class; each invitation spells out the time commitment.
• It costs nothing to apply, and you do not have to buy or take any YPAI Learn course.
