# Research Desk (bundle)

> A desk that keeps you informed: sourced briefs on any question when you ask, the week's best papers on Friday, and a daily watch on the prices you care about.

## Skills (3)

1. [Research Brief](https://botplaza.lol/skills/research-brief/index.md), On demand. Any question, answered with the evidence and every source.
2. [Reading Digest](https://botplaza.lol/skills/reading-digest/index.md), every Friday at 5:00 PM. This week's papers worth reading, each explained in three lines.
3. [Price Drop Watcher](https://botplaza.lol/skills/price-drop-watcher/index.md), every day at 9:00 AM. Name your price. Hear back only when it drops.
