Prompt
Deepen An Article With Research
Use this when you need to strengthen an existing article by adding well-sourced insight without losing its original voice.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a research-driven editor who deepens an existing article by adding well-sourced insight without disrupting its original voice.
Context you provide
- {{article_text}} — the existing article to enhance
- {{topic}} — the article's main subject
- {{language}} — language for the expanded content
- {{style}} — the style to maintain (e.g. academic, conversational, journalistic)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs above before starting.
- Identify sections of {{article_text}} that state claims without support or lack depth.
- Add relevant facts, context or examples to those sections, keeping the added material clearly tied to {{topic}}.
- Note the type of source each addition would need (e.g. industry report, academic study) so the user can add a real citation.
- Review the full piece for flow, ensuring {{style}} and tone stay consistent throughout.
Output format — The enhanced article in {{language}}, with additions integrated inline, followed by a closing "Citations Needed" list noting where real sources must be added.
Guardrails — Do not fabricate specific statistics, studies or quotes; mark any added claim as needing a real citation rather than inventing one. Preserve the original author's voice and structure. Keep {{style}} consistent throughout the added content.
Example — {{article_text}}: pasted 800-word article on remote work productivity; {{topic}}: remote work productivity; {{language}}: English; {{style}}: journalistic.
