AI Research Report Writing

Investigate a topic in depth and turn the retrieved material into a long-form report with sourced conclusions.

Two things make a research report hard. Finding scattered material and judging what is credible is the first. Making it serve one clear conclusion rather than a pile of according-to-sources is the second, and most AI-written reports fail there: plenty of information, no discernible point.

The approach here is structure first, content second. Establish what question the report answers and where the conclusion lands, then retrieve material as needed and write section by section with sources attached to every substantive judgement. Long reports are drafted chapter by chapter with established facts carried forward, so chapter five still agrees with chapter two.

What it can do

Decide the question before gathering

The report question is settled up front. When the goal is vague the agent confirms scope and definitions rather than retrieving material aimlessly and piling it up.

Section by section, internally consistent

Long reports advance chapter by chapter, carrying established facts and definitions forward so the same figure does not acquire two different values in two places.

Sourced judgements

Key data and claims carry their source so you can verify. Where no reliable source exists, it is labelled as inference rather than fact.

Editable output

You receive an editable long-form document; any chapter can be rewritten, condensed, expanded, or updated without regenerating the whole thing.

How it works

  1. Fix the topic and boundariesThe core question, scope, time span, and audience are confirmed, with ambiguities raised before work starts.
  2. Retrieve and filterMaterial is gathered against the topic while source reliability is assessed; conflicting information is presented side by side rather than silently resolved.
  3. Structure, then writeA chapter structure with per-chapter key points comes first and is written out only after you approve it.
  4. Deliver and iterateThe full report is delivered, and any chapter can be revised on request.

Worked examples

Industry landscape

Write a report on the current state of solid-state batteries, focused on the split between technical roadmaps and on mass-production timelines, for internal decision making.

Scope confirmed first (semi-solid included or not, time span, overseas comparison), then a structured report with sourced data and a stated conclusion.

Background scan before choosing a direction

I want to understand what is actually being disputed in this field and which problems remain open. Give me a background review.

A review organized by point of dispute, with each side position, the supporting evidence, and what remains unsettled, usable as the basis for a proposal.

Frequently asked questions

How long can the report be?

Long-form is supported. Past a certain length it switches to chapter-by-chapter drafting with core facts retained and carried forward, so later chapters do not drift away from earlier ones.

How reliable are the sources?

Key judgements carry sources for you to check, and conflicting sources are shown side by side rather than resolved on your behalf. For decisions that matter, verify the core figures yourself.

Can I dictate the structure?

Yes. Give it a chapter framework and it follows yours; otherwise it proposes one and waits for your approval.

Can it use my own internal material?

Yes. Uploaded material is used alongside retrieved public information, with the two distinguished in the report.
