Thirsty? The question “How much water should I drink?” helps you realize the power of prompting

Learn Prompts and Follow-ups

Perplexity.ai has this helpful feature called follow-ups. It’s like having a conversation with your smartest friend. You write a prompt, get an answer and then you can keep digging deeper. Here’s how it works:

How much water?

Here’s a prompting example: “How much water should a 50-year-old man drink each day?” Perplexity answers with: “For a 50-year-old man, the general recommendation for daily water intake is about 15.5 cups, which is equivalent to approximately 3.7 liters or 125 ounces of fluids per day. This guideline includes all fluids consumed, not just plain water. About 20% of this fluid intake typically comes from food, with the remaining 80% from beverages. However…”

For a 50-year-old man working in such conditions, the following hydration guidelines are recommended…”

Welcome to the AI Music Scene

How Suno works its magic, even for those with no musical talent

Suno is like having a whole band inside your computer. With Suno, you don’t need to know how to play an instrument or read sheet music. Even I create with Suno and the only musical talent I have is turning up the volume when a good song comes on the radio.

When you use Suno, you tell it what kind of song you want by typing in a description. Suno then uses what it knows about music to create a song that matches your description. Prompt for a loud classic rock song with two guitars? Suno gives you classic rock. Prompt for an instrumental piano ballad? Suno gives you a piano ballad. Prompt for acid rock so violent you can’t understand the singer? Suno gives you acid rock.

Whether simple or complex, it all starts with the prompt. AI for Beginners presents 10 elements that are like the ingredients in your musical recipe. Learn about genre, mood, instruments, tempo, lyrics, structure, length, inspiration, era and special effects. When you mix them just right, you get a tune that’ll win everybody’s respect.

For example, here’s what you will find in the Tempo section: “Tempo is all about speed. It can make your listeners want to dance or relax. An example is: “Create a mid-tempo rock song at around 103 BPM (beats per minute).” This would give you a song with a steady, driving beat. Think of the Bee Gees’ hit Stayin’ Alive. Maybe you already knew this, maybe not, but the pulse of the average adult is 104 BPM. You may find yourself in a situation where you have to resuscitate somebody. Administer CPR, play Stayin Alive and measure the BPM. I am not making this up!”

If you have writer’s block, consult Suno’s Need ideas? section. You get idea boxes for Person, Special Occasions, Moods, Activity, Greeting, Vacation, Scrapbook and Pet. Use these to start creating.
