Use case overview

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.

Reported experience

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Worth knowing

    Verify every citation and summary yourself; the author says the output needs a human check before use in a proposal or handout.
