Gather a summary on any topic from 5-8 sources with one prompt instead of an hour of Googling

A reusable Gemini template: the model searches for fresh data, filters out the noise, and produces a structured report with links

  1. 1.Open gemini.google.com and sign in to your Google account. Click 'New chat'.

  2. 2.Paste the following prompt into the input field, replacing the text in square brackets with your topic.

    Gemini with Google Search access actually opens pages and cites them - no hallucinations.

    Prompt
    Act as a research assistant with web access. Search for the latest information about [TOPIC - e.g., cloud storage pricing 2026]. Find 5-8 credible sources published in the last 90 days. Produce a structured report:

1. Brief summary - 3-4 sentences
2. Key facts - bullet points, one sentence each
3. What's new in the last 30 days
4. Data discrepancies between sources (if any)
5. Sources: number, title, URL

Tone: business. No fluff. Length - no more than one page.
    What this prompt doesThe prompt is in English so Gemini follows the structure more precisely. Replace [TOPIC...] with your query. The template is reusable: just change the topic in brackets and get a new summary.
  3. 3.Check 2-3 links from the 'Sources' section - click them and make sure they open and are actually relevant to the topic.

    LLMs sometimes truncate or merge URLs. If a link doesn't work, ask: 'Re-check and fix broken URLs'.

    Google Gemini ↗About this tool
    Prompt
    Re-check every URL in the sources section. Fix any that return 404 or redirect incorrectly. Output only the corrected list.
    What this prompt doesA follow-up prompt: checks and fixes broken links. Nothing to replace.
  4. 4.Save the prompt from step 2 as a template so you don't have to rewrite it. Click 'New Gem' in the left panel, name it 'Research Digest', paste the prompt into the Instructions field, and save.

    Gems are available in the free version of Gemini. If you don't see the option in your interface, just copy the prompt into a note and paste it manually.

  5. 5.The next day, open your 'Research Digest' Gem and just type the topic - e.g., 'Yandex Cloud pricing 2026'. The model will run the entire template automatically.

    If you need a summary on a different topic - just change one line, the Gem does the rest.

    What this prompt doesThis isn't a prompt but an example topic to send to your ready-made Gem. Just replace the text in brackets with your topic.
