How this tool worksUses readable sources cited in a recent AI-answer sample to propose three research concepts with evidence gaps, a data collection plan and relevant publications. Concepts are proposals, not completed studies, verified novelty claims or promises of media coverage.
Plan research a publication could use
Start with an evidence gap, not a promised headline
Enter one research topic and choose ChatGPT, Gemini or both. The tool uses readable publications cited in a recent answer sample to propose three original-research concepts grounded in observed gaps.
Each concept describes the question, data or method to collect and why a cited publication may be relevant. It is a proposal, not a completed study, a verified novelty claim or a prediction of links, coverage or AI citations.
A practical workflow
How to use the Digital PR research angle finder
Enter a researchable topic
Frame a question about an audience, behavior or outcome rather than requesting a predetermined headline.
Review the cited publications
Read the available source evidence, preserve its URLs and separate observed gaps from unavailable source text.
Stress-test the proposed method
Check feasibility, sample quality, consent, measurement limits and publication relevance before commissioning research.
Assemble a study plan before writing the headline
A fictional agency-operations concept shows the evidence gap, proposed collection method and publication relevance. No study has been completed.
No small-agency time-loss measure in the inspected page
The gap applies to the readable cited material only. It is not proof that the idea is novel across all publications or research.
Anatomy of a useful concept
A research angle needs a question, method and boundary
The strongest proposal explains what is not answered in the inspected source set, which original data could address it and how that evidence might help a specific audience. It also states what the method cannot establish.
Treat the cited publications as context for editorial relevance. Their appearance in a sampled AI answer does not prove they will cover the study, and a gap in the inspected source set does not verify that the idea is new across all published research.
Observed gap
A precise unanswered question or missing measure in the readable cited material.
Collection plan
The proposed sample, method, measure and limitations needed to produce original evidence.
Publication relevance
A reason the topic may suit a cited outlet’s audience, subject to direct editorial review.
Source gap to study plan
Build a research angle another editor can assess
This fictional creative-agency example keeps observed publication evidence separate from the proposed study.
Read what the publication already supports
Open each accessible cited page and identify the audience, evidence type and limits. An unreadable source cannot support a claim about its coverage.

The gap describes the inspected page, not every study ever published.
Claims and limitations
Do not write the result before collecting the data
The tool proposes three concepts from one topic and a recent source sample. It does not conduct surveys, buy datasets, validate a novelty claim or review the entire research literature.
Any figures in the proposed method describe what to collect, not findings. Complete the research, document exclusions, test the analysis and have a qualified reviewer check the claims before presenting results to a publication.

Questions, answered
Digital PR research angle finder: your questions answered
A closer look at the inputs, method and next steps.
Does the tool conduct the research?
No. It proposes three concepts and methods. You still need to collect, clean, analyze and review the data.
Are the proposed angles proven to be original?
No. A gap in the inspected source set is not a complete novelty search. Review existing research and datasets before commissioning a study.
Why are cited publications included?
They show sources used in the sampled AI answers and provide context about existing coverage and possible audience relevance. They are not confirmed outreach targets.
Can the tool promise links or media coverage?
No. Publication fit, editorial interest, links and later AI citations cannot be guaranteed.
What happens when a cited page is unreadable?
It remains unavailable and does not support an evidence-gap claim. The concept should disclose that the comparison set is incomplete.
Are proposed sample sizes real study results?
No. They are planning inputs in an illustrative method. No participant, response, finding or performance claim exists until research is completed.
What should I review before using a concept?
Check feasibility, participant consent, sampling bias, measurement quality, privacy, analysis methods and the publication’s actual editorial scope.
