Open the doc to an outline, not a blank page

Email Carly the topic and she'll pull the top sources, synthesize what's been said, and draft an outline with the open questions your piece can own — so you start drafting instead of researching.

Exa Notion

What Carly does

1. 01 Search Exa for top recent sources on the topic
2. 02 Synthesize the shared consensus and key disagreements
3. 03 Identify what hasn't been covered — your differentiator
4. 04 Propose 4–6 sections with open questions per section
5. 05 Drop the outline in Notion linked to source URLs

Start drafting, not researching

The outline is already on the page with the open questions your piece can answer. The 3 hours you'd spend researching go into the actual writing.

Email this to Carly to kick it off.

Hey Carly,

Can you research "AI coding agent benchmarks" for me? Search Exa for the top recent sources, then synthesize the shared consensus and where the disagreements are. I want to know what hasn't been covered yet — that's the angle I want to own.

Once you have that, propose 4–6 sections with open questions under each, and drop the outline in Notion with the source URLs linked.

Thanks!
