SUMMARY:Agentic research system - HOTA
DESCRIPTION:Most AI tools answer one question at a time. In this 3-hour workshop you will design a multi-step research system — a reusable workflow that helps you find\, evaluate\, and apply information across the real-world projects you are already working on. By the end of the session you will have a working first draft of your own.\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nThe difference between asking AI a question and designing a research system — and why the second one compounds the more you use it\nHow AI inherits the biases of the web it was trained on — and what to do about it in your own workflow\nA plain-English framework for judging credibility — recency\, authority\, evidence\, relevance\nThe vocabulary you actually need: just-in-time help\, multi-step AI helpers\, triangulation\, automation bias\nHow to wire credibility checks into your workflow so you trust what comes out\n\nWhat You’ll Build\nIn the 90-minute hands-on lab\, you will: \n\nPick one real research problem you actually have — a topic you track\, a brief you write\, a class of question you answer over and over\nMap it into a 3–5 step research system: what to pull\, where to cross-check\, how to flag uncertainty\nTest it with a small data set you bring — your PDFs\, URLs\, notes\nLeave with an MVP workflow and a roadmap for taking it further\n\n\nWhat You’ll Leave With\nYou will leave with a tool agnostic contextual documentation that will allow one to continue learning/developing reliable human + ai research capability no matter what tool prevails: \n\none defined research “problem” unique to personal context/needs with 90 day roadmap on how to increase effectiveness and productivity\neducation on how to context engineer foundations for multi-agent systems beyond the session\nAAIA help resources and contacts for system development best practices (people to reach out to when uncertainty/ambiguity becomes overwhelming)\n\nWe will use Austin AI Alliance’s own live research program as one teaching case throughout — but everything you build is yours\, on your own topic. \nWho It’s For\n\nAI-curious folks who have used Claude\, ChatGPT\, Gemini\, or Perplexity once and want to go further\nAnalysts\, researchers\, and consultants who do recurring intelligence work\nCivic\, economic-development\, and policy professionals who need defensible source trails\nBuilders and operators evaluating where to invest their AI time\n\nNo build experience required. If you have used one LLM tool\, you are qualified. \nBefore You Arrive\nRequired: \n\nLaptop (any modern OS; nothing to install)\nActive accounts on at least two of: Claude\, ChatGPT\, Gemini\, Perplexity (free tiers are fine)\nOne real research problem or recurring task you would like to work on live\nA small folder of unstructured material — 3–10 PDFs\, URLs\, or text files — related to that problem\n\nFormat\n\nThe first 60 mins will be educational with a discussion about why/how/where agentic research workflows fall short. The  next 30 mins will be hands on foundational around context engineering and defining research “problem definition” and “desired outcomes” that research “agent” will work towards. One short break. The remaining 90 mins will be a hands on “onboarding” research agent + testing + MVP workflow design + setting up feedback loops. Q&A at the end.
