The process flow diagram presents an eight-step workflow for conducting research using artificial intelligence. Step one focuses on preparing research through data collection and standardisation, including gathering documents and formatting data. Step two involves prompt engineering, defining task focus, context, inputs, and desired outputs, with an option to revise prompts. Step three evaluates A I services for consistency, detail, and alignment with research goals. Step four conducts pilot testing to assess prompt effectiveness and refine them. Step five highlights human verification, where A I outputs are cross-checked with original sources and discrepancies resolved. Step six uses A I for data extraction to identify themes and automate extraction. Step seven covers data synthesis and analysis, including organising data, creating visualisations, and analysing patterns. Step eight focuses on documentation and triangulation, recording processes and confirming findings. A legend shows role distribution: human, A I, and combined involvement across steps.The Integrated AI‐Enhanced Qualitative Analysis – a processual model
