Tracking New Books with Perplexity AI: An LLM Hack

The author experimented with Perplexity AI's API to track new books by their favorite authors. While Perplexity AI, being based on web searches, produces inconsistent results and hallucinations, through clever prompt engineering and coding, the author built a system to list new books relatively efficiently. Despite repetition and inconsistencies, this is a fun example of using an LLM to solve a real-world problem, showcasing both the potential and limitations of LLMs.
