Should there be a platform that help users to organize their research?

I am trying to validate an idea if this is a common problem that lot of users run into while trying to research and gather more details about any new topic. I am a product Manager and often run in to issue at both professional and personal level while researching for a new topic/hobby etc.
Here are general steps for research
1. Formulate question/goal of what I need to get more details about
2. Search for the topic on google search or specific vertical site eg. yelp for answers
3. Narrow down references and article with relevant information regarding my research. Often save these as bookmarks or save page links in google sheet
4. Summarize my research in google sheet to build up action plan
Problem I often run in to is between step # 3 & step # 4 as there is disconnect and no tool for me to visualize and organize the research to establish an actionable outcome.
I think it would be make it much easier if I can save links from #2 in a platform that helps me organize, extract content, add notes, and use AI to generate summary.
It will be helpful to know if you run into similar issues and how do you manage this. Also would it help to create a platform a platform that provide these capabilities.

I think this can make an excellent Chrome extension. Integrate it with apps like Notion, and have everything in one place.
