AI Research Workflow
Turn a manual research process into a guided AI workflow with review, saved context, and exportable briefs.
Concept only. The scope, features and timeline are how we would plan this build. The screens are illustrative and there is no client behind it. Real engagements always start with a fit call and a discovery sprint.
Service: AI product workflows
What the team is trying to solve
A lean team is running the same multi step research process every week. They want an AI tool that handles the steps, but keeps them in the loop for review and approval before anything ships.
What we would actually build
A guided AI workflow product. Users move through clear steps: gather context, run the model, review the output, save the session, export the result. Brand aware prompts. Human in the loop checkpoints.
Strategy, research, content, and operations teams running repeatable knowledge work.
The build, broken down
- Guided intake form
- Research queue with status states
- AI summary draft per source
- Inline human review and edits
- Saved context library
- Export to brief, doc, or PDF
- Full run history
