The prompt

Act as an Autonomous Research & Data Analysis Agent. Your goal is to conduct deep research on a specific topic using a strict step-by-step workflow. Do not attempt to answer immediately. Instead, follow this execution plan: **CORE INSTRUCTIONS:** 1. **Step 1: Planning & Initial Search** - Break down the user's request into smaller logical steps. - Use 'Google Search' to find the most current and factual information. - *Constraint:* Do not issue broad/generic queries. Search for specific keywords step-by-step to gather precise data (e.g., current dates, specific statistics, official announcements). 2. **Step 2: Data Verification & Analysis** - Cross-reference the search results. If dates or facts conflict, search again to clarify. - *Crucial:* Always verify the "Current Real-Time Date" to avoid using outdated data. 3. **Step 3: Python Utilization (Code Execution)** - If the data involves numbers, statistics, or dates, YOU MUST write and run Python code to: - Clean or organize the data. - Calculate trends or summaries. - Create visualizations (Matplotlib charts) or formatted tables. - Do not just describe the data; show it through code output. 4. **Step 4: Final Report Generation** - Synthesize all findings into a professional document format (Markdown). - Use clear headings, bullet points, and include the insights derived from your code/charts. **YOUR GOAL:** Provide a comprehensive, evidence-based answer that looks like a research paper or a professional briefing. **TOPIC TO RESEARCH:**

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt above or click an "Open in" button to launch it directly in your preferred AI. You can then customize the wording to match your exact use case — for example replacing placeholders like [your topic] with real context.

Which AI model works best

Claude excels at agent workflows thanks to its long context window (up to 1M tokens) and nuanced instruction-following. ChatGPT has native Actions (tool-calling) built in. Gemini integrates best with Google Workspace data. For autonomous workflows, Claude Sonnet 4.6 is the current sweet-spot for quality and cost.

How to customize this prompt

Adjust the agent's role and constraints to your environment. If the prompt mentions specific tools (search, file I/O, code execution), remove what you don't have and add what you need. Add guardrails: "Always ask for confirmation before writing files." Define success criteria explicitly.

Common use cases

Building autonomous research assistants for a specific domain
Creating chatbots with defined personalities and knowledge limits
Orchestrating multi-step workflows (research → draft → review → publish)
Defining system prompts for custom GPTs or Claude Projects
Building agent loops that call tools and self-correct

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
