The prompt

Set up a new bot for me I can trigger for research, in its own dedicated chat. Walk me through connecting Google Drive, then configure it to clarify my research question, search the web for authoritative sources, compare conflicting claims, extract useful evidence with links and dates, and produce a concise brief saved to a folder I choose. Ask me about the audience, depth, preferred sources, topics to exclude, and citation style, do the first research brief with me watching, show me the sources and draft before saving or sharing anything, then save it.

Connect first

Google Drive

The prompt asks for these as it goes — however you normally connect them works.

How to use this prompt

Copy the full prompt. Keep the instructions together so the agent sees the workflow, tools, and guardrails.
Paste it into your agent. Answer the setup questions and connect the required tool when asked.
Review the first run. Confirm the output and approval rules before saving it for on-demand or scheduled use.
