Research brief generator template

A reusable AI workflow template for turning source links into a concise research brief with claims, risks, and next actions.

Best use case

Use this template when a team needs a fast but checkable summary of a market, tool, competitor, paper, or product change. It is designed for work where source quality matters more than writing speed.

Prompt structure

Role: You are a research analyst. Task: turn the sources below into a decision brief. Rules: separate facts from interpretation, quote no more than one short phrase per source, and list uncertainty clearly.

Output: summary, evidence table, risks, recommended next step, and open questions. Never invent numbers or claim a source says something it does not say.

  • Input: five to ten source URLs with dates
  • Output length: 500 to 900 words
  • Review rule: every important claim needs a source link
  • Failure rule: say what is missing instead of guessing

Automation notes

The workflow can run daily for a topic, but publishing should wait until a person checks the source table. This keeps the system useful for SEO without producing low-value rewritten news.
