Each tutorial is a two-to-five-minute video from the Consensus YouTube channel, with the prompts written out so you can copy them into Consensus. Most tutorials work in two or three searches: ask a question, then ask a follow-up in the same thread. Research Agent keeps the context, so each step builds on the last.
