Why you search again after researching with AI
Even when sentences are organised naturally, it is difficult to conclude that the result can be used directly for work. Official sources and personal opinions must be distinguished, and it should be possible to verify whether the information is still valid. When different sources conflict, the criteria selected and the basis for the judgement should also be provided.
| Item to verify | What to review | Problems that arise when verification is difficult |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Distinction between official sources, statistics, press releases and personal opinions | Difficulty in judging the reliability level of the information |
| Recency | The date the material was created and whether it is currently valid | Changed policies or outdated figures may be used |
| Accessibility | Whether the reference link works properly and whether the original source can be checked | It may be difficult for users to verify the basis of the answer directly |
| Consistency across sources | Differences between different figures and claims | It is unclear which information should be used as the basis for judgement |
| Suitability for work | Direct relevance to the research purpose and results | The material needs to be reclassified and organised |
How IVY verifies evidence
IVY handles materials in various formats, including text, images and videos, and uses search assistance and tool-based information retrieval. Along with the research results, it provides the sources referenced, links that can be checked and the criteria used to connect the materials. Users can check the original sources they need directly and decide whether to use the research results.
The scope and depth of the materials change the results
It is difficult to understand the overall flow using only the materials at the top of search results and some news articles. Even on the same topic, the scope and perspectives of information provided by companies, public institutions, research institutions, the media and practitioners differ. IVY reviews multiple types of materials together and summarises common trends, differences, the causes of changes and their impact on work.
Connecting repetitive research to workflows with ARI
Industry news, policy announcements, competitor products and price changes need to be checked again at set intervals. When the person in charge enters search terms and categorises materials each time, time is repeatedly spent on the same task. IVY’s ARI supports carrying out the research and organisation process according to specified schedules and conditions.
- Set an execution schedule, such as 9:00 am every Monday.
- Collect the latest materials related to the industries, policies and technologies of interest.
- Categorise the materials by topic and importance.
- Identify changes by comparing them with the results of previous research.
- Organise the sources and reference links for the materials.
- Generate a draft report for the person in charge to review.
| Components | IVY’s role | ARI’s role | Person in charge’s role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material research | Search for relevant materials and organise their content | Execute according to specified schedules and conditions | Set the research scope and criteria |
| Information classification | Analyse relationships and differences by topic | Apply a repeatable classification process | Confirm work priorities |
| Result preparation | Compile research findings with supporting evidence | Generate and deliver a draft report | Review the content and make the final decision |
Work research that can be verified and used
The usefulness of AI research in business should be evaluated together based on generation speed, the ability to verify sources, the recency of information, interpretation criteria and the connection to follow-up tasks. These criteria can be applied to market research, policy reviews, technology research, customer analysis, proposal preparation and internal knowledge searches. IVY finds the required materials, retains the supporting evidence and provides results organised according to the purpose of the work.
| Evaluation criteria | Questions to verify |
|---|---|
| Evidence verification | Can the original sources and references used be checked directly? |
| Information recency | Was material that is valid at the present time retrieved? |
| Context interpretation | Have the differences in the materials and their impact on the work been organised? |
| Result utilisation | Is it in a format that can be used for meetings, reports, proposals and decision-making? |
| Work connection | Can it lead to regular research and follow-up tasks? |
