Why it matters

Research is mostly gathering, cleaning and comparing. Handing that groundwork to an agent leaves the person with the part that needs judgment: deciding what the findings mean. It is one of 67 sightings filed under Research & Data on Agent Sightings (number 37 by interest), and one of 48 involving ChatGPT Agent.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into ChatGPT Agent or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Research brief: build presentations and spreadsheets from web research. Prefer primary sources, include links and confidence notes, and do not contact anyone.

Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
