Day 05 Integration & Deployment

Building a Repeatable Research System

Day 5 builds the systems that make AI-powered research compound over time: a query library, a knowledge base, and workflow templates for your most common research tasks.

~1 hour Hands-on Precision AI Academy

Today’s Objective

Day 5 builds the systems that make AI-powered research compound over time: a query library, a knowledge base, and workflow templates for your most common research tasks.

The queries that produce great Perplexity results are worth saving. Within a few weeks you will have a library of 20-30 proven queries for your domain. This library is your research system.

Organize it by research type:

The Personal Knowledge Base

Claude Projects lets you create a persistent context for an ongoing research area. Upload your key research documents and Claude remembers them across all conversations in that project.

Knowledge Base System Prompt
KNOWLEDGE BASE SYSTEM PROMPT
# Set up in a Claude Project:

You are my research assistant for [specific domain].

I have uploaded the following reference documents:
- [Document 1]: [what it covers]
- [Document 2]: [what it covers]

When I ask questions:
1. Draw on the uploaded documents first
2. Clearly indicate when you are reasoning from the documents vs from general knowledge
3. If the documents do not cover the question, say so explicitly

My research goals: [describe your ongoing focus]

When to Use Which Tool

ToolBest For
PerplexityCurrent facts, recent news, cited claims, market data
ClaudeAnalysis, synthesis, frameworks, reasoning across documents
Claude ProjectsOngoing research areas with persistent context
Google ScholarAcademic papers, peer-reviewed research
Day 5 ExerciseBuild Your Research System
  1. Create a research query library — one document organized by research type.
  2. Save all the Perplexity queries and Claude prompts from this course that you will reuse.
  3. Set up a Claude Project for your most active research area. Upload 2-3 key documents.
  4. Run a research task through the full system: Perplexity for facts, Claude for synthesis, Claude Projects for continuity.
