3-column Gab AI Deck recipe for research

Research Column lab is a Gab AI Deck recipe for research: Beat sheet → Key art → Motion test. Each of the 3 columns runs a different model or tool side by side, so you stop five tabs of half-read PDFs and no packaged artifact at the end. Clone once and the layout becomes your starting line for every future research sprint.

How to use this recipe

  1. Click "Use this recipe" — Gab AI clones the 3-column layout into a new deck under your account.
  2. Open Beat sheet first and write the brief there. Every downstream column reads from it.
  3. Run the middle columns in parallel; you don't have to wait for one model before starting the next.
  4. Lock the winners, re-prompt the rest. Use the column header to duplicate, rename, or swap models.
  5. Finish with Motion test. Save the deck (or the recipe) so the next research job starts already wired.

Workflow tips for this layout

LLM

Text columns hold the brief, drafts, comparisons, and edits — every other column references them.

IMAGE

Image columns generate concept art, hero stills, key art, or carousels — keep aspect ratios consistent.

VIDEO

Video columns animate the visuals; keep the brief's tone notes consistent so the motion matches the stills.

Research Column lab FAQ

What does the Research Column lab recipe actually do?

It clones a 3-column Gab AI Deck pre-wired for research: Beat sheet → Key art → Motion test. You get the column layout and default model bindings; you bring the brief and pick the winners.

Is this a chatbot or a workflow?

A workflow. Each column runs an independent model or tool, columns reference each other, and the layout persists across sessions. It's the difference between a prompt library and a real workspace.

Do I need a paid plan to use it?

Cloning a recipe is free — it just copies the layout into your workspace. Individual model and tool runs use credits per your Gab AI plan, the same as everywhere else in the app.

Can I change the models after I clone?

Yes. Open any column header to swap the bound model or tool, change the label, duplicate, drag-reorder, or remove the column entirely. Up to 12 columns per deck.

Will my edits persist if I leave the deck and come back?

Yes. The deck saves automatically inside your workspace. You can also save your modified version as your own recipe and clone it again later.

How is this different from running each model in its own tab?

Research Column lab keeps the brief, every intermediate run, and the final outputs in one window. You can compare, branch, and re-prompt without losing context — and save the result as your own recipe for the next run.

How do you prevent hallucinated facts?

For research use cases we recommend pairing this recipe with a research column that returns cited sources, then asking the synthesis column to refuse to answer when a claim cannot be grounded.
