Turn AI research into a publishable brief
Good research is a chain, not one prompt. This path moves from finding real sources to grounding a synthesis to rewriting in your own voice, with each tool doing the job it is best at. Verify the citations yourself at every step.
You will make: A short, cited research brief grounded in your own sources and written in your voice.
-
Perplexity: find real sources
Gather pain points and sources, and pull URLs from the sources list rather than the prose answer, since prose citations can be wrong.
-
NotebookLM: ground the synthesis
Upload the PDFs and pages you gathered, then use a Critique or Debate overview and a custom prompt so the summary is grounded in those documents.
-
Claude: draft the brief
Save the NotebookLM export and your notes into a Project, then draft the brief. Remember context is not shared between chats unless you upload it.
-
Gemini: tone-match the rewrite
Import the NotebookLM notebook as a Gem knowledge source and rewrite the brief in your house voice without re-uploading everything.
Pass check: Every claim in the brief traces to a source you verified, and it reads in your voice.
