Narrow a Broad Topic into a Research Question
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can narrow a broad topic into a focused research question.
The problem
A broad, messy topic makes research feel impossible to start.
What this skill does
Tell the AI your broad topic and ask for a few focused research questions.
When to use it
- Use this when your topic is too broad or messy to research.
Juni’s tip

Weak vs. better
give me a research topic
My topic is too broad: 'climate change'. Ask me a few narrowing questions, then suggest one focused research question.
Why this works
Narrowing questions turn a vast topic into something you can actually research.
Practice task
Take a broad topic and ask the AI to help you narrow it to one question.
Self-check
- The final question is much narrower than my starting topic.
- I narrowed it through a few steps, not one leap.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Keeping the topic broad, so research stays endless.
- Jumping to a question without narrowing the scope first.
