Industry insights​

Industry insights runs online research as a continuous conversation, which you can use to understand policy, industry news, market shifts, and customer opportunities. Each research session keeps its conversation, cited sources, and follow-up questions. If a new question is unrelated to the original topic, start a new research session so the two contexts do not interfere with each other.

When you ask a question, state at least the research subject, the region, and the time range. For example, instead of asking only "what news is there lately", specify the industry, the target customers, the question you want answered, and whether "lately" means the past week, month, or quarter.

  1. Enter the research subject, region, time range, and the question you want answered.
  2. Check that the cited sources and the conclusions are consistent with each other.
  3. Follow up on key data, the competitive landscape, or the impact on customers.
  4. When the research is done, generate a branded report for internal review or topic planning.

The trending topics center crawls public content using the sources and keywords configured for the current tenant, and calculates relevance from matches in titles and summaries. Relevance indicates how closely an item matches your keywords; it does not mean the facts have been verified, nor that the item is suitable to publish as is.

Content operators can go straight from a trending topic into article or video creation. After bringing a topic into creation, confirm again the date of the original article, whether the event is still developing, whether it is appropriate for the brand to take a position, and whether you have the rights to use the assets you cite.

Note

Online research and AI summaries can miss things. When regulations, pricing, data, people, or time-sensitive events are involved, open the original source and verify it before using the content externally.
