You can't judge a market, a competitor, or an investment without doing the research first. That means hours of open tabs and half-read reports.
Claude's Research does it for you. It turns a question into a documented, cited report you can verify and act on, whether the next step is a decision or a draft.
By the end of this guide, you'll:
Understand when Research is worth it, and when to skip it.
Use research prompts from a library, or build your own, to produce documented reports.
Feed that research into your work, so your next decision or draft starts from real material.
Note: Research is one way to practice context engineering: the more relevant context you give AI, the better its output. You won't always need it. When you already have the research, feed that in instead. It pairs with your AI writing system, which gives Claude your audience, message, and voice.
What is Research?
Research is Claude's tool for in-depth questions. Instead of answering from memory, it runs its own searches, each building on the last, and synthesizes what it finds. The result is a documented report with citations you can verify.
It's different from a normal chat or a quick web search. A quick search returns a short summary with links. Research reads and analyzes many sources, then delivers a thorough, cited answer in minutes. Reach for it when a question is multi-step and needs synthesis across sources, like a market analysis or a competitor breakdown. Skip it for a quick fact.
Before you start: Research needs a paid plan (Pro or higher). It also needs web search turned on – Research won't run without it. It works on the web, desktop, and mobile. Use the latest Opus model with effort set to High.
