A research one-pager with sources
Ask a question and get back one page with a recommendation and the sources behind it.
Do it in four steps
Step 1
Ask one bot
For a quick answer, message your Chief of Staff:
Look into whether we should move our billing to Stripe. One page: a recommendation, the three reasons behind it, and the source for each claim. List what you couldn't confirm.
Asking for sources and for what it couldn't confirm matters. Bots don't attach sources to every answer unless you ask.
You're done when: your Chief of Staff starts working on your question.
Step 2
Or put a team on it
For a bigger question, ask your Chief to staff it, and to show you the plan first:
Put a research team on this and show me who you'd put on it before anyone starts: should we sell to dental practices? Who would we be up against, and what do they charge? One page, with sources.
Your Chief proposes a lead and a few specialists, each with one part of the question. Nothing starts until you say go. Reply with any missing context, then tell it to start.
Your Chief of Staff (it starts as Ember; you can rename it) proposes a research team and waits for your go.
You're done when: your Chief shows you a proposed team and waits for your go.
Step 3
Read the one-pager
The lead combines the team's work into one page and saves it as a file. It appears in the chat, and you can open it from Files.
The team lead's finished one-pager, with its sources linked. Demo workspace. Your Chief of Staff starts as Ember; you can rename it.
You're done when: a finished page appears in the chat and in Files.
Step 4
Check it
Open two or three sources yourself before you act on the answer. Ask follow-ups in the same chat, such as "What would change your recommendation?"
You're done when: you opened two or three sources and they say what the page says.
