Content Research Faster with AI: A Repeatable Workflow (2026)
Research is the bottleneck. Not writing. Not filming. Research.
This workflow (Eyesme example) turns “50 tabs” into:
- a structured summary
- a counterpoint list
- a publishable outline
- a reusable source library
The 3 levers of research speed
- faster source screening
- structured extraction (claim → evidence)
- reusable notes (not one-off summaries)
Workflow: from 50 tabs to 1 outline
Step 1: Credibility & intent screen
- “What’s the core claim? What sources does it cite? Score credibility 0–3.”
Step 2: Structured extraction
Request:
- key takeaways
- claim → evidence → implication
- counterarguments
- when it applies / doesn’t apply
Step 3: Outline generation
- “Create an H2/H3 outline and add one topic sentence per section.”
Step 4: Mine long videos/podcasts
“List the 5 most valuable points with timestamps.”
Step 5: Save to a source library
Track:
- topic
- source link
- evidence/quotes
- counterpoints
- usage idea
Bottom line
Research less. Extract more. Reuse everything.
