How well do you really know your industry? Let’s find out.

What is Deep Research

Deep Research is an advanced AI mode designed to conduct multi-step investigations across the web (and sometimes documents), then synthesise the results into a well-structured report with citations and summaries.

It goes beyond simple Q&A — the AI plans what to look for, explores multiple sources, and draws connections and insights much like a research analyst.

Available in most AI chat platforms!

Your Challenge

This week, use your AI chat tool’s Deep Research function to investigate the market you work in. Ask your AI tool to explore the landscape: market trends, threats, and any surprising insights that surface across multiple sources.

Then, condense your findings into a one-page executive briefing

Your goal: turn AI’s long reports into sharp, actionable insights you could share with a colleague or client.

Hints

Deep Research normally takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete, so it’s worth making sure you’re getting the prompt right. Double check you’ve provided all the relevant context, and the format of the output you want to see!

Extra Credit

Earn extra credit by taking your research further — for example:

Turn your findings into a short visual (chart, infographic, or word cloud)
Use AI to summarize your report into a LinkedIn post
Generate future scenario headlines using your insights

How to Submit

Email your completed summary to [email protected]

Subject line: [Mini Mission #1] [Your Name]

You can paste your summary in the body or attach it as a short doc or slide.
