Setup guide

Customer Discovery Agent for Perplexity

The $19 Customer Discovery Agent runs on Perplexity as three plain-text files: set it up once in a Perplexity Space, approve a sample-data test, then trigger each run with the usage prompt and this run's inputs.

What the Customer Discovery Agent does

If research already happens in Perplexity, this agent turns it into the finished artifact. It turns interview notes into structured evidence themes: quote, theme, contradiction and follow-up question per interview, without inventing validation.

Interview notes pile up in docs, themes stay in your head, and the next investor update says customers love it with no evidence behind it.

Where the three files go in Perplexity

Create a Space for the job, upload the three files, and paste the setup prompt into the Space instructions. Run the setup, approve the sample-data test, and start each run in that Space. Save the agent's output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).

What a run looks like on Perplexity

A run looks like this: you open the Space, paste the usage prompt with this run's inputs, and Perplexity works through customer-discovery with cited sources where the job needs them. The output - it turns interview notes into structured evidence themes: quote, theme, contradiction and follow-up question per interview, without inventing validation - is drafted for your review.

Setup, step by step

  1. Create a Space in Perplexity and name it after the job (for example: customer discovery).
  2. Upload skill.md to the Space and paste setup-prompt.txt into the Space instructions.
  3. Run the setup; the agent runs customer-discovery on fictional sample data first - approve that test before real work.
  4. Start each real run in that Space with usage-prompt.txt and this run's inputs; save the output where your work lives (Sheets, Docs).
