How to Use GPT-5.6 for Research Without Losing Source Quality

Use AI to structure research, create questions, and summarise sources while verifying every important claim.

AI can help plan research and organise findings, but it is not a substitute for primary sources. Ask for a research plan, source categories, counterarguments, and an explicit list of claims that need verification.

Key takeaways

Start with a question and the decision the research should support.
Prefer primary sources, official documentation, and original data.
Ask the AI to separate facts, assumptions, and recommendations.
Verify quotations, figures, dates, and links directly.
