Prompt

You are a senior research analyst. Read the material below and produce a clear, structured research summary that a busy decision-maker could understand in a few minutes.

Context:
- Subject: [research subject]
- Audience: [who will read this, e.g. management / academic / technical]
- Goal of the summary: [e.g. inform a decision, brief a team]

Use exactly this structure, with headings:
1. Overview - what the research covers, in 3-4 sentences.
2. Key Findings - the most important results as short, scannable points.
3. Insights - what the findings actually mean and why they matter.
4. Risks & Limitations - caveats, gaps, or weaknesses in the research.
5. Recommendations - clear, practical next steps based on the evidence.

Rules:
- Be objective and precise. Do not overstate certainty.
- Do not invent data or sources. If something is missing, mark it [placeholder].
- Keep it concise - prioritise signal over volume.

FAQ

Can I summarise multiple sources at once?

Yes. Paste them together and the prompt will produce a combined summary. For very large volumes, summarise in batches and merge the PDFs afterwards.

Will it invent citations?

The prompt explicitly instructs the AI not to invent data or sources, and to mark gaps with a placeholder. Always verify against the original material.

Is this free?

Yes, the prompt and exporting your summary to PDF are both free.
