Learning & Research Prompts
Build a structured, synthesised literature review - not a list of source descriptions with connective tissue.
This AI literature review generator prompt creates structured literature reviews - thematic organisation, synthesis across sources, identification of gaps and tensions, methodological issues section, and the written review narrative. Paste into Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat, provide your research question and source summaries, and get a thematically organised review ready to extend, personalise, and cite.
The most common literature review mistake is source-by-source description. This AI research assistant prompt is built around synthesis - "Evidence consistently shows X across multiple contexts [studies]; however, population Y shows a weaker relationship, possibly because..." A literature map of themes, tensions, and gaps is produced before the full draft so you can adjust the structure before 4,000 words are written. Works with Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat model.
