Where to run it

Agent instructions (copy into your agent)

Set up a new bot for me I can trigger for research, in its own dedicated chat. Walk me through connecting Google Drive, then configure it to clarify my research question, search the web for authoritative sources, compare conflicting claims, extract useful evidence with links and dates, and produce a concise brief saved to a folder I choose. Ask me about the audience, depth, preferred sources, topics to exclude, and citation style, do the first research brief with me watching, show me the sources and draft before saving or sharing anything, then save it.
