Research work topics and develop ideas
Choose when to use web search and turn sourced findings into useful next steps.
Updated: September 2026
Start with GPT-5.6 Terra or Gemini 3.8 Flash for explanations and ideas. For recent developments, use a model that supports search and check the search setting.
Search the selector for the model name. Availability varies by account.
Choose a model and search scope
- Open a new chat and choose a model.
- Check the search control beside the input, or expand the input options. Search controls vary by model.
- Include the period, region, industry, and source requirements.
Try this request
Find three publicly documented inspection-automation examples in automotive parts manufacturing from the past six months. Make a table of process, reported benefits, adoption considerations, source link, and publication date. Do not invent performance figures.
For an idea session without research:
Propose five ways production, quality, and purchasing teams could reduce delivery delays. For each, list the responsible team, required information, and first action for a 30-minute planning meeting.
Review and refine
- Open the source links and check publication dates and supporting passages.
- Ask to separate verified facts from proposals.
- Narrow the result to actions your team can try this week.
- Continue with the writing guide.
If it does not work
If current claims have no sources, check search settings and request dated sources. Narrow broad requests by product, process, or period. For internal policies, use organization GPTs or attached documents.
