Find what your research is missing before you present it
It lists the questions your sources skip and flags where two of them quietly contradict each other.

How do I find gaps in my research before I present it?
Ask your AI to list what your sources don't answer, where they disagree and which claims rest on one source. Gemini Notebook fits best when your research already sits in a notebook, because it answers only from those sources and you can untick weak ones to compare. Claude or ChatGPT work if you paste or upload the documents into one chat. Run it before you write the deck or report, not after.
A sketch of what you'll get back.
Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
Claude and ChatGPT open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini Notebook can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
I'm about to turn these sources into [WHAT YOU'RE MAKING, e.g. a client workshop on pricing]. The topic is [YOUR TOPIC, e.g. why members leave in month three]. Using only the sources in front of you, don't summarize them. Instead: 1. List the important questions about this topic that the sources don't answer, or only answer partly. For each, name the source that comes closest and say exactly what's missing. 2. List every place where two sources disagree and nothing in the sources settles it. Quote the two claims side by side. 3. Flag any claim that rests on a single source. 4. End with a short to-do list: the kinds of sources I should add to close the biggest gaps, most important first. If a gap would embarrass me in front of [WHO WILL SEE IT, e.g. a room of gym owners], mark it as urgent.
Ask your notebook what your sources don't answer and where they disagree. You get a research to-do list before a client or audience spots the hole.
