How to use Computer Skills | Perplexity Academy

Perplexity Computer Skills teach Computer how to approach a task, not just what to do. In this Perplexity Academy video, we walk through what Skills are, when to use them, and how to create reusable instructions that make repeat work consistent across your team.

Think of a Skill as hiring a specialist. Instead of rewriting instructions at the start of every task, a Perplexity Computer Skill stores them once and applies them every time, the same structure, tone, formatting, and review process. Skills are built for repeated work where consistency matters: brand-compliant assets, recurring research, data analysis, content creation, and deliverable production.

You'll learn how to:

-Identify recurring tasks that are good candidates for a Skill

-Create a Skill by chatting with Computer to turn your process into reusable instructions

-Import existing Skills as a markdown file or a zip file with fonts, brand colors, and reference assets

-Understand the difference between a query and a Skill — a query tells Computer what to do in the moment; a Skill tells Computer how to approach that kind of work

-Prompt Computer to use specific Skills, or let it activate them automatically based on the task

-Once Skills are in place, Computer follows your team's process consistently across reports, dashboards, presentations, websites, and more. Less repetition. Better standardization. Closer to your established standards every time.
