Web research for Data & Research
Summarize sources with citations.
What you can do
- Start with a clear prompt — include goals, audience, and constraints.
- Ask for options first, then pick one to refine.
- Upload files or images to give context where helpful.
- Use web search when you need fresh facts or sources.
Sample prompts
Draft a one-paragraph web research for data & research with 3 style options.
Create a step-by-step plan for web research in data & research; include pitfalls and tips.
Review my input and suggest improvements for web research; ask 3 clarifying questions first.
