I’m hiring a sharp, fast-learning AI Research Assistant to help power a growing investigative YouTube channel. This role is for someone who understands how to use AI tools strategically — not casually — and can move quickly under tight deadlines.
You should already be highly proficient with ChatGPT and Grok, and be comfortable adapting to new AI tools as they emerge. Speed, accuracy, and judgment matter.
What You’ll Do
Use AI tools to assist with research for investigative and street-interview style videos
Generate structured research briefs (background, timelines, key players, funding sources, statistics, counterarguments)
Help craft sharp question lists for interviews
Fact-check claims and identify primary sources
Summarize long documents quickly and accurately
Assist in developing video angles and story framing
Stay on top of breaking news and surface actionable ideas fast
You Must:
Be extremely fluent with ChatGPT (prompt engineering, memory usage, structured outputs, etc.)
Know Grok well and understand how it differs from other models
Be able to learn new AI tools rapidly (Claude, Perplexity, Midjourney, scraping tools, etc.)
Think critically — not just copy/paste AI outputs
Understand bias detection and source credibility
Work fast and meet deadlines
Communicate clearly and concisely
Bonus if you:
Have experience with investigative journalism or political research
Understand public records, nonprofit filings, government databases
Have worked with YouTube creators before
Are comfortable operating in high-speed news cycles
Format
Remote
Part-time to start (room to grow)
Must be responsive and available during U.S. working hours
When applying, include:
A short paragraph explaining how you use ChatGPT differently than the average person
An example of a research brief you’ve created using AI
Tools you’re currently fluent in
Your availability and hourly rate
Attatch your internet speed as a screenshot.
This is for someone ambitious who wants to build something meaningful — not someone looking for basic VA work. If you move fast, think clearly, and adapt quickly, this could grow into a long-term role.
