How are you using Perplexity in your daily workflow

I've recently started exploring Perplexity and found it helpful for quick research and summarizing technical topics.

I'm curious how others in the HN community are using it—whether for programming, learning, productivity, or even something niche.

Are there any specific prompts, habits, or use-cases where Perplexity shines for you?
