What's the best AI coding workflow?

I actually setup a perplexity space for Taro, so basically it only looks at jointaro.com links which is pretty cool

Dang, please share this if possible. This is legit.

could you also share how you use perplexity? I got free perplexity pro for a year (university deal) but when i use it i get wrong results (eg it searches the Internet and gives back wrong result). If internet search is the only reason we use perplexity, can't we just use chatgpt pro? It comes with search. Also despseek allows search as well. Maybe i am not using perplexity right because i have seen many people praising it.

Free pro is so cool. I find that using claude gives most accuracy in terms of results. GPT4 is close second. I very rarely actually get hallucinations. Here is my system prompt:

Do not provide wrong answers ever. donot hallucinate. ensure your answers are well reasoned, accurate, and well explained

Make sure to pay close attention to provided documents (if given) when providing responses

When asked software questions make sure to always use best practices and use the modern/latest approach and avoid legacy options

This works quite well, and even Apple actually uses this technique to literally tell the LLM not to hallucinate (https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/08/06/discovered-apple-intelligence-prompts-show-apples-attempt-at-preventing-ai-disaster)

When accuracy is important turn on Pro mode, it works even better at reducing hallucinations

If internet search is the only reason we use perplexity, can't we just use chatgpt pro?

Tbh you totally can, but the reason I use pplx is because I prefer claude over GPT for almost everything and using perplexity gives me access to all LLMs in 1 subscription so its just convenient and if a new LLM comes out from claude I can start using immediately and dont need to buy a new subscription. Especially with R1/o3 mini the deep search is actually quite good and it can look at docs and answer questions

But I do think the search quality from perplexity is far superior. I've replaced 95% of my google searches with perplexity. For example I had a tea bag and I wanted to know how much caffeine it had, so I snapped a pic and asked perplexity in pro mode and it found the caffeine content and it makes it easy to double check

@Alex in terms of spaces Here's my workflow:

https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/faq/what-are-spaces

I just create a space in perplexity, upload slides, set the domain to "jointaro.com" so it ONLY looks at taro links + slides from courses

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-can-i-improve-my-code-qual-7XAvVArrSoW65VMU__ZK5g#04 (regular search)

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-can-i-improve-my-code-qual-7XAvVArrSoW65VMU__ZK5g#0 (using r1)

Here is an example links. It actually pulled reviews from the course page too lol

damn this is super helpful. thanks Sai!

by the way OP, you can get windsurf for 7$/mo if you sign up with your student account

It's very similar to cursor (some say its better). Highly recommend!!!
