Organizer’s description

A live 60-minute training where you run a full research brief on a question that actually matters to you — scope, source, synthesize — and leave holding the finished brief. "Can you look into this?" is the request that eats a week. Competitive analysis, market scans, prospect briefs, due diligence: work that used to mean five days of tabs or a consultant's invoice. Deep research is the most valuable capability in the current tools and the least used, mostly because people ask it the same way they ask a chatbot and get back something that reads like a Wikipedia entry. In this session, Arjita Sethi, founder of Build with AI Club, shows you how to scope and run research that produces a decision rather than a summary. You bring a real question. You leave with a real brief. What you will learn: What deep research modes actually do differently, and why the output is not just a longer chat answer Scoping a research question so the result is decision-grade instead of encyclopedic Judging sources: what to trust, what to verify, and where these tools reliably go wrong The synthesis step almost everyone skips, and why the brief is useless without it Building a repeatable format for the research you run every month What you will walk away with: One finished research brief on a question you actually care about A reusable brief structure for the next one A realistic sense of what to check and what to take at face value Who this is for: Anyone who has ever been told to look into something…
