TutorialsAI for Industry Research & Competitor Analysis
One formula, one main case, and 6 prompt templates—learn to direct AI through a full industry research and competitor workflow in 60 minutes, turning a week of grind into a few sentences.
This course does one thing: with one formula and one main case (a major-to-career map), you learn to direct AI through a complete industry research run—upgrading from "asking AI" to "commanding AI." In 60 minutes, turn a week of grind into a few sentences. No code, just "conversation + prompts."
What You'll Learn
Read the lay of the land + remember one formula
Four core concepts (industry research / competitor analysis / deep-research mode / Skill); an 8-scenario cheat sheet; the soul of the course—the Role + Task + Context + Format + Constraint formula.
Hands-on: run a major-to-career map end to end
Using Hubei University's Chinese Language & Literature (Teacher Education) major as the main case, run 3 prompts: let AI write its own prompt → reveal the expert full version → package it as a Skill for one-line reuse. Each with a breakdown and copy guide.
Take it home: 6 templates + quality guardrails
6 copy-ready prompt templates along the research workflow (set goal → gather → deep-dive → compare → report → package), a blank competitor-comparison table, 3 + 3 quality red lines, and a tool reference.
Who It's For
Course Structure
This course has 3 lessons, covering the full chain from understanding the lay of the land to hands-on practice to take-home templates.
Read the lay of the land + remember one formula
Four core concepts (industry research / competitor analysis / deep-research mode / Skill) + an 8-scenario cheat sheet + the soul of the course—the five-part formula: Role + Task + Context + Format + Constraint, plus an advanced tip and the guiding principle.
Hands-on: run a major-to-career map end to end
Using Hubei University's Chinese Language & Literature (Teacher Education) major as the main case, run 3 finalized prompts: A let AI write its own prompt, B the expert "full version," C package as a Skill. Each with "when to use → prompt → how to adapt → how to verify."
Take it home: 6 templates + quality guardrails
6 templates along the research workflow (set goal / gather / deep-dive / compare / report / package Skill) + a blank competitor-comparison table + 3 general quality red lines + 3 domain-specific ones + a tool reference.
Companion Materials
This course comes with two companion materials for hands-on reference:
- Live-class handout: the full handout, organized in seven sections (positioning → lay of the land → formula → hands-on → templates → quality red lines → assignment), item by item.
- Slide deck: 15 slides covering the scenario map, the 3-choices-in-3-minutes warm-up, the map-building steps, and the three-tier assignment—useful for in-class follow-along and post-class review.
Guiding Principle
In one sentence: AI produces the first draft and fills gaps; you judge and sign off. Treat AI as a very smart subordinate—you, as the leader, assign the work and make the call.
Tools change; the "Role + Task + Context + Format + Constraint" logic of command never does.
