Set up a weekly research brief

Try a regular research update from public sources. Check one result before deciding who will review it and where it should go.

Next step · About 20 min to try; setup approval may take longer.

Bring: A topic, population, review window and allowed public sources.

Make: A checked research draft and a separate schedule plan.

Suggested starting tools: ChatGPT (personal / Business), Codex. Use fictional inputs for this exercise; check the exact account and data path before real records.

Guide sources and teaching inputs checked . Vendor directory claims retain their own review dates.

Give the task a narrow brief

Choose a topic and population, such as menopause and sleep. Request up to three new human studies or relevant guidelines from allowed public sources. For each, ask for a direct link, study design, population, main finding and limitations. Allow “no relevant new evidence” rather than requiring three items.

Keep patient records and identifying details out of this recurring research task. Tell it to distinguish genuinely new material from older papers that have resurfaced, and to avoid repeating prior items when that history is available.

Run once before setting a schedule

Read the first result and open at least one source. Check whether the cited paper exists and supports the summary. Revise the request if it returns animal studies, promotional content, duplicates or claims it cannot verify.

Then set a cadence, timezone and destination, and identify who reviews the brief. A private review inbox is a different destination from an automatic patient email or public post. Keep those actions separately authorized.

Check how your chosen scheduler runs

Confirm whether the task runs in the cloud or needs your computer and app to be awake, what sources it can access, and how it reports a failed run. Verify the first few scheduled deliveries and keep a simple way to pause it.

Scheduling does not improve evidence quality. Keep source checking and clinical interpretation in the workflow. The talk proposes a setup; downloading these materials does not create a scheduled task.

Weekly public research brief

Research

Find up to three new human studies or relevant guidelines on {{topic_and_population}}
published during {{review_window}}, using {{allowed_public_sources}}.
For each: direct link, publication date, design, population, main finding and limitations.
Distinguish new publications from older papers resurfacing. Flag duplicates
when previous results are available. Say if there is no relevant new evidence.
State access limitations. Do not include patient information or treatment advice.
Produce a private draft for review; do not send or publish it elsewhere.

Run once and open a source before scheduling. Configure the cadence, timezone, destination and failure reporting separately; this prompt does not schedule itself.

Example of a reviewable result

This is an authored teaching example, not a captured AI output or a clinical plan.

Item: [Direct source link]
Publication date: [Verified date]
Design and population: [Verified study details]
Main finding and limits: [Checked against the source]
Review owner: [Name]
If nothing qualifies: Say “no relevant new evidence.” Do not fill the brief with old or unrelated papers.

Check before you use the result

  • Run the request once and open a source.
  • Check the date, study design and population.
  • Allow no new evidence and identify duplicates.
  • Set the owner, cadence, timezone and destination separately.
  • Verify delivery and failure reporting before relying on the schedule.
