Program Description

Whether preparing for a new project, a competitive pitch, or a complex decision, deep research AI tools can compress hours of background reading into minutes. This session explores how to deploy AI research agents to gather and synthesize live web content, producing structured reports with cited sources. Participants practice targeting research, evaluating outputs, and adapting results for different audiences.

Learning Objectives

Learners will have the opportunity to:
1. Explore how AI deep research agents gather and synthesize information from live sources
2. Practice prompting research agents to focus on specific industries, topics, or questions
3. Work with deep research outputs to identify key insights and evaluate source quality
4. Experiment with adapting research reports for different formats and audiences
5. Build a practical deep research workflow for a recurring need in your role
