AI Instructor – Perplexity (Remote, South Asia)

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches research with AI tools in live classes for people at work. Your classes take learners from typing a question into a search box to an answer whose every citation they have opened and judged, and to a shared Space that keeps a topic current for their team.

The work

• Teach the live class “Answer a work question with Perplexity and trace every citation”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Set up a Perplexity Space that tracks one topic for your team”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how the same question gives different answers when you pick web, academic or finance sources, and how follow-up questions narrow it down.
• Walk learners through opening each numbered citation, finding the sentence it supports and marking the claims that no source actually backs.
• Help learners whose answer leans on one weak source, mixes up dates or cites a page that has changed, and show them how to ask again.

What to expect

• Every class is live, online and in English, with learners from all over the world, and you can tell us in the application which other languages you teach in.
• Your kit for each class: a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo that traces an answer back to its sources, and a backup recording of that demo.
• You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and a Perplexity account to demo from.
• Before you teach a class for the first time, you pass its instructor test.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.
• Already have a course on Perplexity, or want to make one? You can sell your own recorded course on YPAI Learn too. Bring a course you've built, or build one with our kit. It's the same application.

What you bring

• A research question you answered with Perplexity at work, with the sources you kept and the ones you threw out.
• Experience teaching research skills, training analysts or running sessions on finding and checking sources.
• Patience with learners who take the first answer at face value.

You need

• Regular use of Perplexity for research in your own work, including source selection, follow-ups and Spaces.
• A sharp eye for sources: who wrote them, when, and whether they say what the answer claims.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If you need your employer's approval for outside work, get it before accepting any assignment.
• Your teaching depends on how many learners book the class; each invitation spells out the time commitment.
• It costs nothing to apply, and you do not have to buy or take any YPAI Learn course.
