What is Research?	Research is an advanced feature that transforms Claude from a conversational assistant into a systematic investigator.
When should you use Research?	Use Research when you need comprehensive reports, in-depth analysis across the web and connected integrations, thorough investigations that would typically require hours of manual work, comparative analysis, or reports with citations you can verify.
How does Research work?	When enabled, Research works through an agentic, multi-step process. It includes planning its approach, conducting multiple searches that build on each other, synthesizing findings from various sources, and providing citations for easy verification of information.
What are some tips for crafting effective Research prompts?	Be specific about your goals, specify the sections or structure you want, include relevant constraints, and ask Claude to help refine your prompt if needed.
How can connected integrations enhance the power of Research?	When you have Google Workspace or other integrations connected, Research becomes more powerful as it allows Claude to pull context from emails, calendar, documents, etc., alongside web research.
What is extended thinking and how does it relate to Research?	Extended thinking automatically activates with Research, allowing Claude to break down your request, identify what information it needs, and plan its approach thoughtfully before conducting multiple searches.
