The big idea
Real research isn't just reading sources — it's noticing where they agree, contradict, or leave gaps. AI is great at this. Paste in summaries of three articles and ask it to make a comparison table.
Some examples
- 'Compare these 3 article summaries. Where do they agree? Where do they conflict?'
- 'Which source has the strongest evidence and why?'
- 'What's missing from all three?'
- 'Build a 3-column table: Author, Main Claim, Counter-Argument.'
Try it!
Find 3 short articles on the same topic. Paste their summaries into AI and ask for a comparison table. Use it as your essay outline.
