In this post, I break down how I used ChatGPT’s Deep Research capabilities to hunt down official documentation—PDFs, laws, guidelines, and regulatory links—from dozens of global sources across industries. From fragrance safety rules to government labeling laws, distributor agreements to military exchange onboarding, this is how I used AI to research faster, go deeper, and find exactly what I needed.

In this post, I share how I used ChatGPT’s deep research tools to design a full beginner-friendly course on iPhone product photography, tailored for small business owners selling on Shopify, Faire, and social media. From lighting techniques to AI tools like Canva and PhotoRoom, the process showcases how fast, collaborative, and creatively aligned this kind of research can be when you know how to steer it.

To create this plan, I dove deep into current neuroscience and cognitive performance research, combining findings from peer-reviewed studies, expert recommendations, and high-quality health resources. I focused on five key areas proven to impact creativity and productivity: nutrition, physical activity, sleep hygiene, daily scheduling, and environmental factors. I built a detailed system around when and how I eat, move, rest, and work—matching each element to how the brain functions best. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all routine—it’s a customized, evidence-backed framework designed to support high creative output and long-term brain health. Every piece of it is grounded in research and optimized for real life.
