About

What It Is

Claude Research is a research mode inside Anthropic’s Claude assistant. It is designed for people who need more than a single chatbot response: Claude can run multiple searches, refine what to investigate next, and synthesize the results into a more thorough answer.

What to Know

This is one of Claude’s more agentic features: once enabled, it can carry out a sequence of searches on its own and cite the sources it used. That makes it useful for fact-finding and synthesis, but it is still prompted and guided from within chat rather than being a fully independent task runner.

Automatically decides what to investigate next

Returns answers with citations

Uses web search as a required data source

Pulls context from connected Google Workspace sources

Use Cases

Researching a topic that requires sources and cross-checking
