Research Workflow Designer

Configure your research in four steps: define the question, choose the type, set scope, and select sources. Then generate a visual workflow with phased actions.

Prompt Chain Builder

Based on your workflow configuration, generate a sequence of AI prompts that chain together. Each prompt builds on the output of the previous one.

Key insight: Amateur researchers ask one big question. Professional researchers break their question into a chain of smaller, sequential queries — each building on the previous answer. A 5-prompt chain consistently outperforms a single detailed prompt because each step can be verified and course-corrected before moving to the next.
