Summarization is the lowest-value AI research task. Day 3 shows you the higher-value uses: finding patterns across sources, stress-testing arguments, and generating new hypotheses.

These prompts produce analysis that would take a good researcher days to do manually.
I have collected information from multiple sources. Identify the patterns and tensions across them. [PASTE YOUR RESEARCH] Find: 1. Claims that appear in multiple sources (stronger signal) 2. Claims that contradict across sources (investigate) 3. The underlying assumptions common to all sources 4. What perspective is conspicuously absent from these sources
Play devil's advocate on this argument or conclusion: [State your conclusion or argument] Identify: 1. The weakest assumptions this argument depends on 2. Evidence that contradicts this conclusion 3. Alternative explanations for the same data 4. Who would disagree with this and why they might have a point
Based on this research, generate 5 testable hypotheses that follow logically from the data. [PASTE RESEARCH] For each hypothesis: - State it as a falsifiable prediction - Explain what evidence would confirm or disprove it - Rate confidence that it is true based on current data
If the following finding is true, what are the second and third-order implications? Finding: [state the key finding] Context: [your field or organization] Identify implications that are: - Immediate (happen in 0-12 months) - Medium-term (1-3 years) - Long-term and potentially transformative (3+ years) - Counterintuitive or non-obvious
