The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened new opportunities for teachers in designing instructional materials. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of using Perplexity AI in designing Natural and Social Science Knowledge (IPAS) materials in elementary schools. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data was collected through questionnaires from three elementary school teachers as a preliminary study (pilot study). The indicators measured included ease of use, time efficiency, material quality, and usefulness. The research results indicate that Perplexity AI is highly effective, with an overall average score of 4.29, falling into the "Good" category. These findings demonstrate that Perplexity AI significantly supports teachers in organizing systematic lesson plans and improving teaching material preparation. This research provides a foundation for the broader implementation of AI tools in the education sector, suggesting that AI can be an effective aid in the development of educational content, ultimately enhancing the teaching and learning experience in schools.
