When working with Perplexity, the biggest gains usually come from treating it as a repeatable workflow rather than a one-off prompt or experiment.

One important area is limitations. Define what a good result looks like before changing tools or settings, then test one variable at a time so you can tell what actually improved the outcome.

Another area is integration. Keep examples of both strong and weak outputs, check important facts or generated code independently, and document settings that produce consistent results.

The main takeaway is that Perplexity becomes much more reliable when the workflow includes clear inputs, repeatable checks, and a way to learn from previous results.

For Key things to know about Perplexity and limitations, I would separate the problem into setup, output quality and repeatability. perplexity and limitations fits into that because it can change the result quite a lot depending on the workflow. It is usually easier to troubleshoot when each change is tested on its own.
 
On Key things to know about Perplexity and limitations, the part about perplexity and limitations stands out to me. I would test one small workflow first, keep the variables consistent, and compare the result before changing several things at once. It is usually easier to troubleshoot when each change is tested on its own.
