AI for Research & Synthesis

Knowing how to use AI effectively for research is fast becoming a core professional skill, but most people use it the same way they'd use a search engine, and come away with results which feel shallow. This workshop teaches you a better approach. You'll be introduced to a practical set of free AI tools designed specifically for working with documents and research material: uploading sources, asking questions across all of them at once, pulling out key themes, generating plain-language summaries, and building briefing notes tailored to specific audiences.

Through a guided, hands-on exercise, participants will produce a real, source-cited research brief during the session itself. We'll also be direct about where these tools fall short, and close by pairing NotebookLM with complementary tools to fill those gaps. You’ll leave with a complete, reliable research workflow you can put to use immediately.
