Research & KnowledgeDone with ChatGPT Agent
Compile an annotated bibliography and draft a paper
ChatGPT Agent searched academic databases for recent open-access empirical papers, grouped them by field, wrote an annotated bibliography, noted research gaps and assembled a draft.
- What They Did
- The author gave ChatGPT Agent a single /agent prompt asking for peer-reviewed papers from the past five years on Big Data and Analytics in decision-making, focused on Education and Healthcare. The agent restated the task, searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, PMC and ResearchGate, and kept empirical open-access papers. It wrote APA-style annotations, listed research gaps, and exported a markdown draft that the author converted to .docx.
- How It Went
- The author says it took under ten minutes for work that normally takes half a day, and the result was review-ready. Sources still needed checking, interpretations needed human review, and formatting needed some cleanup.
- Worth Knowing
- Verify every citation and summary yourself; the author says the output needs a human check before use in a proposal or handout.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Search academic databases for recent open-access empirical papers on [research topic] published since [year]. Group them by [field or theme], write an annotated bibliography with a two-sentence summary each, list the research gaps you notice, then assemble a rough draft outline of a paper. Finish with a document containing the bibliography, gaps and draft, with links to every source.
