What it does

The task

Research topic. Read at least 15 sources: papers, official statistics and articles by experts. Compare where the sources agree and where they do not. Write the report in a new Google Doc: a summary of 5 lines, the main findings with a citation for each, the open questions, and a list of all sources with their links.

  • It works in Google Scholar, Wikipedia and Google Docs, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.
  • It uses Odyssey, the deep-research mode of the Pro and Team plans, and keeps a citation for each fact.

What you get back

An example run with the example values above. Your run uses your own data.

Report: four-day work week and productivity (Google Doc, 2,150 words, 22 sources)

Summary: Most trials report the same or higher output with 20% fewer hours. The evidence is strongest for office work and weakest for shift work.

Main findings:

  • 61 companies in a 2022 UK trial: 56 kept the 4-day week (Autonomy report)
  • Sick days fell by 35% to 65% in 4 trials
  • No study longer than 2 years measured output directly

Open questions: effect on customer service hours, effect on small firms

Sources: 22, with links at the end of the doc
