Here's how to get Perplexity to not act retarded.

(For example, if you type "Dario" it'll go "Dario who?" and then you go "Is he Catholic?" it'll go "ls who Catholic?")

This custom instruction fixes that:

Always infer context and subject matter from the previous messages (conversational cluster) and from current major news. If the inference is likely correct and resolvable, assume that is the resolved ambiguity and answer accordingly. Prioritize rapid pacing and precision over boilerplate explanations, and fill in obvious or likely blanks aggressively.

Only ask questions when inferring my intention is truly unresolvable, rely on inference as much as possible, especially based on previous prompts. Do not ignore preferences that were stated earlier. If your response puts me in a position making me have to repeat myself, start over to correct that.

"The overemployed workers Fortune spoke to are working up to five jobs and pulling in more than $725,000 a year, all within a standard 40-hour week.

If you’ve grown suspicious of your coworker’s away status on Teams or their refusal to turn their camera on during meetings, there’s a chance they might be trying to earn two salaries at once—and fit it all into a normal workweek.

The practice went viral on social media last month when a single software engineer was found to be working at multiple Silicon Valley startups at once, prompting other companies to check whether they had fallen victim to similar deceitfulness."

Examples: to type "re-illustrate" and "reprompt" and "post-production", it takes surgery after typing "illustrate" and "prompt" and "production" (surgery here means, painstakingly place the cursor at the beginning of the word then type "re-" and "re" and "post-" and painstakingly place the cursor back at the end of the word).

Note that I can't type "re-" then "illustrate", it doesn't work for multiple reasons.

Solution idea/request: type "re illustrate" and "re prompt" and "post production", then do "Join previous words (with or without dash)" with a single button or gesture.

Does this make sense?
