Research brief writer
Researches a topic across the live web and returns a sourced draft in your voice, with the open questions flagged.
The prompt
This is the whole configuration
Paste it into a workflow and edit it in plain English. There is nothing else to wire up.
I will give you a topic. Search the web and read at least a dozen credible sources, preferring primary sources, official documentation, and recent writing over listicles. Before you draft, read the last three briefs in our Google Drive marketing folder so you match our voice, structure, and level of detail. Then write the brief in a new Google Doc: an executive summary, four to six sections, and a short conclusion. Link every factual claim to the source it came from. Where sources disagree, say so and present both. Where the research is thin, write what you found and leave an inline note saying the evidence is weak rather than filling the gap. Share the doc to the marketing folder and post the link in #marketing.
