    The Exact Prompt Engineering System Powering My DeepResearch Workflow

    TL;DR: I feed the template below into Gemini 2.5 Pro to build the DeepResearch prompt. Then I use the output to run DeepResearch with. You’ll find more context further down, but the main idea is simple: Just drop your core ideas between TOPIC BEGINS HERE and TOPIC ENDS HERE. The rest builds itself.

    Google just doesn’t cut it anymore: I’m the guy who wired a mini–data center into his basement. When you’ve got almost 3-dozen GPUs humming at 3 a.m. and a brain that treats half-baked ideas like Pokémon’s you gotta catch ’em all, shallow Googling just doesn’t cut it. I needed a research system that could keep up with the chaos in my head, force clarity, and let me ship faster than my cats can yank the UPS cable while livestreaming (true story ).

    DeepResearch and this framework turn my chaotic untangled thoughts into informative, in-depth, comprehensive reports. I also use it to learn anything and I have it wired into the loop of how I code with agents. Today, I’m sharing this workflow with you.

    This is blogpost #2 in my 101 Days of Blogging . If it sparks anything; ideas, questions, or critique, my DMs are open. Hope it gives you something useful to walk away with.

    I believe that if you genuinely want to move the needle, whether you’re an indie builder, a founder hunting for market clarity, or just someone tired of getting subpar answers, you need a proper system. Something structured that transforms vague curiosities into pinpoint insights, ruthlessly forces clarity, prevents endless rabbit holes, and delivers actual value (think high signal, zero noise). To me, that’s DeepResearch.

    Before DeepResearch, I’d “just check one thing” and suddenly I’m 138 tabs deep with outdated blogposts and conflicting info. DeepResearch fixed that, but only because I learned how to use it. There’s a method to the clarity.

    DeepResearch, among many things, could be:

    Traditional research often ends up vague, ambiguous, and misses key insights entirely. So I built-and obsessively iterated-a prompt framework designed explicitly to fix these problems. This approach guides both me and the AI to:

    This became the Ultimate DeepResearch Prompt Builder Template, the backbone of every serious AI-driven research I execute.
