Your AIDular report is only useful if you actually know what to do with it. Here is a simple, practical guide to reading your report quickly and turning it into action without wasting time.
Start With the Summary Section
Every AIDular report opens with a short summary. Read this first. It tells you the headline findings in plain language so you can decide in about 30 seconds whether anything urgent needs your attention.
If nothing jumps out, you can stop there and move on with your day. The report has done its job: you are informed, and you did not have to check five websites yourself.
How to Scan the Full Report in Under 5 Minutes
The body of the report lists findings with sources. Here is how to get through it fast:
- Read the bolded text or headings first. These are the key points. AIDular structures reports so the most important detail is never buried in a wall of text.
- Check the sources. Each finding links back to where it came from. If something surprises you or seems important, click the source and read the original. If it looks routine, skip the source and move on.
- Look for changes since last time. Ask yourself: is this new, or is it the same as last week? New information is what you need to act on.
- Flag anything you want to save. Copy it into a note, forward the email, or screenshot it. The report only lives in your inbox, so save what matters.
Three Questions to Ask After Every Report
Before you close the email, run through these quickly:
- Does anything need action today? A price drop, a job listing, a news story you need to respond to.
- Does anything change a decision I am about to make? New information should update your thinking, not just sit in your inbox.
- Should I adjust my prompt? If the report felt off this week, such as too broad, too narrow, or missing something obvious, now is the time to note it.
When to Tweak Your Prompt
A report that keeps delivering the same old stuff is a sign your prompt is too vague. A report that feels random is a sign it is too broad.
Here is a copy-paste example you can adapt:
Track news about electric vehicle battery technology published in the last 7 days.
Focus on breakthroughs in solid-state batteries and charging speed. Ignore general
EV sales news and stock prices. Summarise the top 3 developments with sources.
Notice how it tells AIDular what to include, what to skip, and how to present it. The more specific you are, the more useful each report becomes.
Adjusting Frequency Based on What You Read
If your weekly report always feels thin, try daily. If your daily report is overwhelming, switch to weekly. You can change the schedule in your AIDular settings at any time.
A good rule of thumb:
- Daily for fast-moving topics like breaking news, job listings, or crypto prices.
- Weekly for most topics: industry trends, product research, competitor updates.
- Monthly for slow-moving things like regulatory changes or academic research.
Make the Report Work for Your Routine
The best way to get value from your report is to read it at the same time each day or week. Treat it like a short briefing, not a chore.
Pick a moment when you are already in "information mode," such as morning coffee, the start of a work session, or your commute. Over time, it becomes a habit, and staying informed stops feeling like work.
