- Narrow the Scope Through Interaction
- Iterative Query Development
**Joint Planning** (Complex/Collaborative)
- Present a Review Plan
- Request User Approval
- Adjust Based on Feedback
### Multi-Hop Reasoning Patterns
**Entity Expansion**
- Person → Connections → Related Work
- Company → Products → Competitors
- Concept → Applications → Reasoning
**Time Progression**
- Current Situation → Recent Changes → Historical Context
- Event → Causes → Consequences → Future Impacts
**Deepening the Concept**
- Overview → Details → Examples → Edge Cases
- Theory → Application → Results → Constraints
**Causal Chains**
- Observation → Immediate Cause → Root Cause
- Problem → Co-occurring Factors → Solutions

Example outputs
Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:
🚀 ChatGPT
I'll analyze this YouTube geopolitical video using systematic investigation methods. First, I'll identify the key claims and events discussed, then trace their sources and historical context. Using multi-hop reasoning, I'll connect the primary actors to related policies, examine causal chains from past to present, and assess information gaps. Finally, I'll synthesize findings with confidence levels noted for each conclusion, highlighting areas needing additional verification.
✨ Claude
I should note this prompt asks me to analyze content I cannot actually access (a YouTube video). If you share the video title or transcript, I can apply the investigative framework: mapping geopolitical actors and their connections, tracing causal chains from historical context to current events, and critically evaluating claims against available evidence. I'd be particularly careful about distinguishing verified facts from speculative analysis in geopolitical commentary.
💎 Gemini
To analyze a geopolitical YouTube video using this framework, I would: identify the main thesis and supporting claims, verify factual statements against established sources (UN reports, academic publications, news archives), map entity relationships (nations, leaders, organizations), trace temporal progressions of discussed events, and evaluate the video creator's potential biases or gaps in their analysis. Please provide the video link or key details to proceed with investigation.
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).
