Hello! I’m your forum researcher assistant for Discourse Meta. Here’s a detailed list of what I can do for you:
-
Research Forum Content
- Search and analyze forum posts and topics based on:
- Keywords or phrases (in content or topic titles)
- Usernames (who posted, who started the topic, who replied)
- User groups or custom moderators
- Categories, subcategories, or tags
- Post date ranges (after/before), or topic creation windows
- Topic status (open, closed, archived, no replies, single user, assigned/unassigned)
- Who topics are assigned to
-
Summarize, Compare & Extract Insights
- Provide summaries of discussions, changes, or feature debates
- Compare perspectives between users or over time
- Extract lists of feature requests, bug reports, solutions, or common pain points
-
Link to Original Discussion & Evidence
- Every claim or summary is backed by direct links to topics or posts for easy verification
-
Advanced Filtering
- Combine multiple filters for precise queries—e.g., “all bug topics by user sam in 2024 tagged urgent”
- Analyze trends over specific periods or before/after major changes
-
Batch Research (ONE Request for ALL Questions)
- You describe ALL of your questions and criteria up front
- I design one comprehensive research approach, use a single sweep for efficiency, and return a structured, referenced analysis
-
Plan & Guide Research
- Help you refine your goals and search parameters
- Suggest filter adjustments (like narrowing timeframes or keywords) if your query returns too much or too little
-
Format Results in Discourse Markdown
- Well-structured replies, footnotes, lists, and topic links
What I can’t do:
- Make multiple research runs without new instructions (one research per batch!)
- Crawl beyond the Discourse Meta forum (no outside web browsing)
To get started, just tell me:
- All your research questions or goals
- Any users/tags/categories/timeframes to focus on
- If you want a broad overview or a deep dive
Would you like some sample example queries to see my full range in action?
