Generative AI capability
Search efficiently with AI
Move from a simple question to a real investigation: explore the web and your documents, cross-reference sources and build verifiable answers before turning them into decisions.
Written proposal within 24 working hours, without obligation.
Obtaining accurate, reliable and actionable answers
The training develops search reflexes applicable to general tools, advanced search functions and internal document databases.
- Mastering prompting to query the web and explore internal documents.
- Putting research techniques at the service of business challenges and decision-making.
- Evaluate the reliability of sources, cross-reference information and identify uncertainties.
- Choose the tools and environments that are appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the research.
From a plausible answer to a verifiable investigation
One method to avoid stopping at what AI claims: frame the research, explore the leads further, return to primary sources and document the uncertainties.
Define the question
Clarify the objective, the recipient, and the decision that the research is intended to inform.
Define the perimeter
Specify the period, geographical areas, languages and types of sources.
Explore
Launch an initial search to identify relevant actors, concepts and avenues of research.
Deepen
Use in-depth research and question the most useful documents.
Vérifier
Cross-reference information, check dates, and return to primary sources.
Summarise
Structure the lessons, cite the sources and point out the limitations of the analysis.
Critical mind
A convincing answer is not necessarily reliable
Participants learn to distinguish plausible information from information that is actually verified.
- Verify the existence of the source, its date and its author.
- Distinguish between a primary source and a commentary or a re-publication.
- Compare several independent sources.
- Identify contradictions and uncertain information.
- Request specific quotes and refer back to the original document.
- Retain human validation before any decision.
