A structured brief, not forty tabs

Compile web research on any topic into a structured brief you can actually hand to someone.

Research starts with a question and ends with forty tabs, three PDFs, and a document titled 'notes FINAL v2'. The synthesis -- the part that matters -- happens at midnight before the meeting.

Everyone can gather. The scarce skill is compiling: turning the pile into a page a decision can stand on.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

This routine takes the topic you give it and compiles your research into a structured brief: what is known, what is contested, and what it means for you.

You keep the gathering; the routine does the shape. The midnight synthesis session gets a lot shorter.

COPY THIS PROMPT
Every Thursday compile my research on this week's topic into a structured brief with sources

Set it up in three steps

  1. Open Littlebird and go to Routines, then create a new routine.
  2. Paste the prompt above. Adjust the days and times to fit your schedule.
  3. Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. Pause or edit it anytime with auto-pause.
VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

Skills are a good demo. You open a chat, paste in yesterday's context, and get a pretty solid answer -- once.

Tomorrow you do the whole thing again: same paste, same wait. The skill does not know your meetings, your threads, or what changed since Monday.

This routine knows all of that before it runs. It fires on schedule and hands you the result where you already work.

FAQ

How deep does the brief go?

Deep enough to brief a colleague: key facts, open questions, and implications. You set the scope in the prompt.

Can I rerun it on new topics?

Yes. Change the topic in the prompt and the next run compiles the new subject.

Who has access to what this routine sees?

You, full stop. Littlebird never sells data and never trains on your content -- SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned.

Does Littlebird train on my stuff?

No. Nothing you create is sold or used for training. SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned, Mac-local by design.
