Two Grad-Student Prompts: Draft a Related Works Section in 3 Minutes
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-09-30
The blogger continues a prompt series for grad students with Prompt 7, 'Related Works Drafter': paste in 4 paper summaries and have the model write a related works section positioning your research as filling a gap none of them addressed. First draft in 3 minutes; still needs editing but beats a blank page.
It also recalls Prompt 6, 'Concept Explainer': ask the model to explain a technical concept as if you know the field but not that specific method, using one analogy — handy when a section makes no sense and you refuse to ask your advisor again.
