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.
What Carly does
- 01 Search Exa for top recent sources on the topic
- 02 Synthesize the shared consensus and key disagreements
- 03 Identify what hasn't been covered — your differentiator
- 04 Propose 4–6 sections with open questions per section
- 05 Drop the outline in Google Docs 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 Google Docs with the source URLs linked. Thanks!

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
