I wanted to share my daily workflow since a few people have asked about it.
The Setup
I have a Research Team with three agents:
- Content Summarizer — for digesting long articles and papers
- Data Processor — for extracting structured data from reports
- Log Analyzer — repurposed for pattern-matching across news feeds
Daily Routine
Morning (15 min)
- Drop 3-5 links into a team conversation
- Ask the team to summarize key takeaways and identify common themes
- The supervisor delegates each article to the right agent
Midday (5 min)
- Upload any PDFs or reports I received via email
- RAG indexes them automatically for future reference
End of Day (10 min)
- Ask the team to compile a brief of everything processed today
- Save the output to my Library for the weekly review
What I've Learned
- Be specific with your prompts. "Summarize this" gives mediocre results. "Extract the top 3 actionable insights relevant to SaaS pricing" gives gold.
- Use RAG for continuity. Once documents are indexed, you can ask questions across weeks of research in a single query.
- Team conversations > single agent for anything involving multiple document types.
Has anyone else built research workflows? Would love to compare notes.
