**Join the AI Agent Bootcamp here:&nbsp;https://www.inventium.ai/learnvirtually-agents**&nbsp; You type a research question into your AI tool, get back a perfectly serviceable answer, and still feel like&nbsp;something's&nbsp;missing. The output&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;wrong, exactly. It just&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;quite hit the mark. The culprit,&nbsp;more often than not, is the prompt you started with.&nbsp; The good news:&nbsp;there's&nbsp;a smarter way to approach this, and it&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;involve becoming a prompt engineering expert.&nbsp; In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through the agent Neo reaches for more than any other he has built: the Research Prompt Builder. We get into how it works, when to use it with a thinking model instead of deep research, and how pairing it with&nbsp;NotebookLM&nbsp;can get you genuinely well-briefed in a fraction of the usual time.&nbsp; How I AI is a special series within How I Work, where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better&nbsp;decisions&nbsp;and reduce overwhelm.&nbsp; What&nbsp;you'll&nbsp;learn in this episode:&nbsp; Why your research prompt matters more than the tool you use&nbsp; How Neo's Research Prompt Builder&nbsp;actually works&nbsp;before any research begins&nbsp; When a thinking model is a better choice than deep research&nbsp; How to go from a raw research output to a proper briefing using&nbsp;NotebookLM&nbsp; Practical AI tools for productivity and focus&nbsp; Real-world AI workflows used by high performers&nbsp; How to use AI at work without burning out&nbsp; <li aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="4" data-list-defn-props="{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&q
