That wall of industry newsletters in your inbox isn’t a reading list. It’s a stress list. 

You tell yourself you’ll get to them later. You don’t. And the pile keeps growing. 

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I explore how to use AI as a structured research assistant. Not just to summarise articles, but to filter signal from noise, prioritise what’s actually relevant to you, and automatically deliver regular briefings so you don’t even have to remember to run the search. 

Neo and I cover: 

• How to give AI the right context so it knows exactly what “new” means to you 

• Why vague prompts produce vague research – and how to fix that 

• How to define trusted sources and instruct AI where to search 

• Structuring your report so it highlights impact, availability and practical relevance 

• How to ask AI to prioritise credible sources over hype 

• Setting up scheduled searches in ChatGPT using “schedule this” so reports run weekly or daily 

• How scheduling works in Copilot and what to know about current limits 

• Creating sections like quick hits, watch lists and hype watch to make reports easier to scan 

• Why you should always request links so you can verify and dive deeper
