Researcher turns a question into a structured research workflow. Be specific about what you need to learn and what would make the result useful.

Set up the research

  1. Enter a focused question and continue.
  2. Choose the report type: Quick, Research, Detailed or Resource.
  3. Set the writing style and audience. Provide a sector and geographic focus when relevant, or skip optional questions.
  4. Choose the report language.
  5. Review the proposed topics before choosing Start Research.
  6. Follow the progress display. Return to the saved research when processing is complete.

The video asks how Repair Cafés reduce waste and what a small event can learn from them. Setup and waiting time are shortened in the edit.

Review the report

Use Contents to jump between chapters. Open cited sources and check that they support the nearby claims, including dates and numbers. Sources can vary in relevance and reliability; a long reference list is not proof that every claim is sound.

Compare the final report with the question and intended scope. Check for extra topics or missing sections before using it. Open Export to save a reviewed version as Word or PDF.

For a short current-information question, use web search in Chat. For future developments and their implications, use Trend Analysis.
