What you'll learn
What augmentation actually looks like in research synthesis
A live demo of messy synthesis with AI: the iterative dialogue, the pushback, and the moments to apply your judgment.
Three dialogue modes and when to use each
How to use framing, challenging, and sharpening methods that train AI as a collaborator.
How to stay in the lead and not offload the hard parts
How augmentation is different than prompting, and how to use it to deepen your thinking without asking for the answers.
Why this topic matters
Everyone knows AI can speed up synthesis, but fewer researchers have actually seen what it looks like to think hard through synthesis with AI rather than hand it off.
This is a live demo unpacking strategic insights with real qual data, not a presentation. You'll see the actual back and forth, the messy moments, and the methods we use to keep the researcher in the lead.
If you've been winging this alone, this one's for you.
