Turn 5 Articles into a Research Briefing Doc

Paste your sources (links, PDFs, copied text) and get a structured briefing doc with key insights, tensions, and implications.

Reading five articles and synthesising them into a coherent brief used to take two hours. The scanning, the note-taking, the "what does this mean for us" thinking. Claude can do the synthesis in minutes. You spend your time on the thinking that only you can do.

  1. step 01 / 05

    Define your research question

    Before you paste anything, tell Claude what you're trying to answer. A focused research question produces a much sharper brief than "summarise these links."

    Prompt
    I need a research briefing on how AI is changing product management roles. I'm presenting to our leadership team next week to make the case for investing in AI tooling for our PM team.

  2. step 02 / 05

    Paste your sources

    Paste article text, copy URLs for Claude to reference, or describe articles you've read. Don't worry about formatting, Claude will extract what matters.

    Prompt
    Here are my sources: 1. A product management newsletter piece on AI-native PMs : argues that PMs who use AI are 2–3x more productive on research and synthesis tasks, but the "judgment" work (prioritisation, stakeholder management) hasn't changed. 2. A consulting firm report on generative AI in knowledge work : 40% of knowledge work tasks can be partially automated; synthesis and summarisation are the highest-impact use cases. 3. A venture capital essay on the "10x PM" : PMs who use AI tools are shipping faster discovery cycles and managing more surface area per person. 4. LinkedIn post by a Head of Product at a SaaS company : they rolled out AI tooling for PMs, saw 30% reduction in time spent on research and reporting, reinvested into more customer interviews. 5. A business journal piece on AI and professional skills : knowledge workers who integrate AI maintain a learning advantage; those who don't face skills erosion over 3–5 years.

    Extract key insights per source

    Claude reads each source and extracts the most relevant findings for your research question, removing noise and keeping signal.

    Prompt
    Extract the key insight from each source.

  4. step 04 / 05

    Synthesise across sources

    Individual insights are useful; what's more useful is what they mean together. Ask Claude to synthesise and find the consensus, the tensions, and the implications.

    Prompt
    Now synthesise across all five sources. What's the consensus, what are the tensions, and what does it mean for us?

  5. step 05 / 05

    Format as a briefing doc

    Package everything into a clean document ready to share with leadership.

    Prompt
    Format this as a briefing doc I can share with leadership. One page, tight.
