The handoff

A chat-ready set of search findings and source links, ready for a person to verify.

Keep in mind

Search results can be incomplete, outdated, or misleading, and a summary may not reflect the original source accurately. Open and verify important pages, distinguish source claims from interpretation, and review any message before sharing research beyond its intended chat.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the approved chat and audience

Select where research questions may be asked and who may see returned results.

Set expectations for useful results

Decide how many sources and what context should be included for a readable response.

Define source-checking guidance

Ask readers to verify important claims against original pages and treat summaries as a starting point.

Test broad, narrow, and ambiguous questions

Check how the research experience handles unclear requests, conflicting sources, and topics with little current information.
