Create a Simple Research Question
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can turn a broad topic into a focused question.
The problem
A topic that is too broad makes research feel endless and unfocused.
What this skill does
Tell the AI your broad topic and ask it to suggest a few focused research questions. A clear question gives your reading direction. Pick the one that fits what you actually want to know.
When to use it
- Use this at the start of a project or essay when your topic is too wide.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: a sharp question makes research doable. Narrow before you dig.

Weak vs. better
give me a research topic
My topic is "healthy eating on a budget". Suggest 3 focused research questions I could explore.
Why this works
Turning a broad topic into focused questions gives your research a clear direction instead of an endless scope.
Practice task
Take a broad topic and ask the AI for three focused research questions.
Self-check
- The questions are narrower than my original topic.
- At least one fits what I want to find out.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Keeping the topic so broad that research never feels finished.
- Picking a question that does not match what you actually want to learn.
