This AI prompt turns ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Copilot, whatever AI you use) into your own real-time research analyst. In minutes, it gives you an intelligent, trustworthy summary of what matters most right now – drawn from verified, current sources across the web.
This is the same prompt I use to stay on top of fast-moving industries like marketing, AI, and tech — but it works for any field. Whether you’re in finance, fashion, construction, law, or education, the process is the same. You tell the AI your industry, and it goes to work compiling the key stories, trends, and conversations shaping it today.

How to Use the Prompt
Once you’ve got your copy of the prompt, open it in Google Docs and:
-
Go to File > Make a Copy — so you can edit your own version.
-
Replace the red text with your industry or niche. The more specific, the better. For example:
-
“UK renewable energy sector”
-
“Luxury fashion e-commerce”
-
“AI tools for B2B marketing”
-
-
Paste the finished prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot.
-
Run it as-is. It’s designed to work immediately — no follow-up questions or clarifications needed.
In a few minutes, you’ll get a clean, structured report with four sections:
-
Key Stories: The most important news and updates from the last three days.
-
Emerging Trends: The new signals and shifts starting to gain traction.
-
Conversations & Insights: What experts and communities are discussing online.
-
Quick Takeaways: The practical conclusions you can act on right now.
Each section is formatted in easy-to-scan tables, ready to paste into your notes, internal updates, or client decks.
Why It’s So Useful
This isn’t another “news summary” prompt. It’s built for professionals who need signal, not noise — the kind of output you’d expect from a human analyst who knows your industry and filters for relevance.
Use it to:
-
Stay briefed before client meetings or strategy calls.
-
Identify early trends before competitors do.
-
Create talking points for your own content, newsletters, or reports.
-
Keep your team aligned on what’s changing this week.
The prompt enforces strict sourcing, fact-checking, and formatting rules. It’s not guesswork or filler — it’s high-quality industry intelligence, refreshed every time you run it.
A Few Tips
-
Refine it like a bonsai tree. Each time you use it, you’ll spot ways to improve the output — maybe you want more trend analysis or fewer conversations. Adjust and save your new version.
-
Be specific. “Tech” is too broad. “UK fintech startups” or “marketing automation tools” will give sharper results.
-
Run it regularly. Every few days, it’ll give you a snapshot of how your industry is shifting in real time.
