ON-DEMAND RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Turn a question into a useful summary—and make its sources easy to check.

For a service that has permission to respond to a user’s message, research the submitted question across available public sources and prepare a short summary for the same conversation. Search results may be incomplete, outdated, or conflicting, and a concise response can hide important uncertainty. Disclose how messages are handled, minimize and protect conversation data, preserve source links and dates, check high-impact claims with reliable references, and route sensitive or consequential questions to a qualified person.

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An opted-in recipient, a disclosed research purpose, and clear topic boundaries

“Return a readable research summary without implying that speed or fluency makes it authoritative.”

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Researches a message-based question, summarizes the findings for mobile reading, and prepares a reply in the originating conversation.

  1. Confirm the user and messaging permission

    Respond only within the service’s disclosed purpose and the recipient’s preferences.

  2. Research with dated, relevant sources

    Preserve references and distinguish original evidence from commentary or estimates.

  3. Check claims and explain uncertainty

    Compare important statements with reliable sources and note missing or conflicting evidence.

  4. Protect questions and conversation history

    Avoid unnecessary personal details and restrict access and retention.

  5. Escalate sensitive or consequential topics

    Have a qualified person verify advice before it is relied on or sent.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A concise response with source references, date context, uncertainty, and an escalation path.

The handoff

A concise response with source references, date context, uncertainty, and an escalation path.

Keep in mind

Summaries can omit disagreement, rely on weak sources, or be mistaken for professional advice. Show and check sources, state uncertainty, protect message content, honor messaging consent, and require human review when the answer could affect health, safety, finances, or rights.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Explain messaging consent and data handling

Tell users what is researched, where replies go, and how long messages are retained.

Define topic boundaries and safe escalation

Set limits for sensitive issues and provide a clear route to human help.

Preserve sources and minimize message content

Keep evidence visible while limiting access to private questions and summaries.

Require review for high-impact replies

Assign qualified owners to approve advice that can affect a person’s choices or safety.
