Research faster without losing judgement

Use AI to map a topic, generate search terms and organise supplied material. Treat the output as a research assistant’s draft and verify important claims at the source.

What you’ll learn

  • Start with a precise research question
  • Ask for competing explanations
  • Separate sourced facts from hypotheses
  • Maintain a verification list
