AI Research Synthesis Framework
A systematic approach to using AI to synthesize hours of research material into actionable insights for content creation
How It Works
Instead of taking notes during consumption, upload source material (videos, PDFs, articles) to AI tools, then have conversations to extract specific points, summaries, and unique perspectives related to your content topic
Components
Identify topic for content creation
Gather relevant source material (YouTube videos, PDFs, articles)
Upload material to AI tool with large context window (like Gemini 2.5)
Ask AI for key points, summaries, and unique perspectives on your specific topic
Have iterative conversations to dig deeper into relevant insights
Synthesize AI responses with your own perspective and previous work
When to Use
When you need to synthesize large amounts of research material quickly, or when you've consumed content without taking detailed notes
When Not to Use
When working with proprietary or confidential information that shouldn't be uploaded to AI systems, or when the source material isn't available in uploadable formats
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“A creator wants to write about psychological survival. They upload three 3-hour videos on the topic to Gemini, ask for key insights related to their specific angle on 'reinventing yourself,' and get a thousand-word summary that would have taken 9 hours to manually create”
