# Research Tasks

Schedule recurring research prompts with in-platform or email delivery.

### Schedule recurring investment research

**Research Tasks** run a saved research prompt on a selected schedule.

Write any research question, choose a cadence, and set a delivery time. TickerTrends runs the task on schedule and delivers an alert in the platform or by email.

### Create a research task

1. Enter the prompt you want TickerTrends to research.
2. Choose how often the task should run.
3. Set the time of day for the alert.
4. Select in-platform alerts, email, or both.

Use tasks for recurring screening, monitoring, and scheduled research updates.

### Write a focused prompt

Be specific about the companies, data points, and time period you need. Results summarize available platform data for the requested scope.

For example, request covered TMT companies with changing tracker indicators and relevant context.

### Example: TMT research screening

This task reviews available tracker and estimate context for TMT companies:

> Review available TickerTrends tracker and estimate context for TMT companies.

Generated results are research aids. Validate outputs, sources, and dates before use.
