Collect research into a tidy spreadsheet
“I need facts on dozens of companies, schools or people in one table.”
AI can visit many public sources and fill a spreadsheet with consistent columns and a source link per cell. Spot-check a sample before using it.
Fix it yourself in 3 steps
- Define the rows (what you're researching) and the columns you need.
- Ask the AI to fill the sheet with a source link for every value.
- Spot-check 10% of rows and fix the method if errors show up.
Copy this prompt
Build a spreadsheet of [rows: e.g. 50 schools in X]. Columns: [list]. Use public sources only and add a source link for each value. Write 'not found' instead of guessing. Stop after the first 10 rows so I can check them.
Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
