- What they did
- For an article on AI automation trends, a user gave Claude in Chrome a set of 20 articles. The prompt asked it to pull key insights from each, find common themes, and build an organized summary document with citations. The guide shows only the prompt and the result, not the individual steps the agent took.
- How it went
- The guide puts manual effort at an estimated 4-5 hours against 18 minutes for Claude. The summaries were accurate enough to show which articles deserved a full read, but the guide says this speeds up research and doesn't replace reading.
- Worth knowing
- The 4-5 hour manual figure is an estimate, not a measurement. The guide also says long sessions and long lists can stop mid-task, so add checkpoints.
