Starred Research

Starred research creates a persistent knowledge base that follows you across conversations and scripts. Star your most valuable findings to build a reusable library of context.

What is Starred Research?#

When you star a research item, it's saved to your channel's research collection. Unlike regular research (which is tied to a single conversation or script), starred items persist across all conversations in that channel, are available to use as context in any script, build up over time into a valuable knowledge base, and are automatically included when creating new scripts.

How to Star Research#

In Chat#

1. Find a valuable research item in your research sidebar
2. Click the star icon next to the item
3. The item is now saved to your channel's collection

In Script Builder#

1. Open the Research panel
2. Click the star icon on any research item
3. Starred items will be available for future scripts

Where Starred Research Appears#

New Conversations#

When you start a new chat conversation in a channel, your starred research is available in the research sidebar. You can reference it immediately without re-adding it.

Script Creation#

When creating a new script, starred research items are automatically available as context. You can choose which starred items to include, and the AI references these materials when writing your script.

Best Use Cases for Starred Research#

Personal Brand Information#

For personal brand channels, star information about yourself - your background and credentials, key talking points and philosophies, personal stories you frequently reference, and brand guidelines and messaging. This ensures every script maintains consistent information about you without re-entering it each time.

Evergreen Research#

Star research that remains relevant across multiple videos, such as industry statistics and data points, expert quotes you reference often, foundational knowledge for your niche, and competitor analysis that's still current.

Channel Strategy Documents#

Keep your strategy accessible by starring target audience profiles, content pillars and themes, tone and style guidelines, and common objections and how to address them.

Managing Starred Research#

Reviewing Your Collection#

Access your starred research through the research sidebar in any conversation, the Research panel when creating scripts, or your channel's research library.

Removing Stars#

To unstar research:

1. Find the item in your starred collection
2. Click the star icon to remove it
3. The item is removed from your persistent collection

Tips for Effective Starring#

Be Selective#

Don't star everything. Focus on information you'll reference in multiple scripts, facts and statistics you cite regularly, and background context that improves all your content.

Keep It Current#

Starred research can become outdated. Review your collection when industry statistics change, your brand messaging evolves, competitor landscapes shift, or you've refined your content strategy.

Organize by Purpose#

Think about why you're starring something:

• Background context - Channel history, personal info
• Recurring facts - Statistics, studies, quotes
• Reference material - Style guides, templates, examples
