# Using Claude Code in the Research Process Methods to turn research results into a living artifact. - **Source:** [UX Collective - Medium](https://brifing.si/source/5c6bdc88-e150-4203-af43-069801e37dd9) - **Published:** 2026-07-20 - **Topic:** [Data & AI](https://brifing.si/c/data-ai) - **Original article:** - **On Brifing:** https://brifing.si/s/000756af-d013-4cd2-bb49-a4b4ee89e3bd ## Basic Capabilities of Claude Code Claude Code can perform basic research tasks such as web searching, product comparison, document synthesis, and template organization. These capabilities are widely used in daily work and are highly beneficial. ## Two Critical Points in the Research Process There are two critical moments in the research process: how we think while the research is ongoing and how the results are communicated to the product team once completed. Claude Code plays different roles at these points. ## Claude Code as a Thinking Partner Claude Code can be used as a thinking partner that challenges researchers' habits. This helps researchers discover new methods and conduct deeper analyses. ## Claude Code as an Artifact Maker Once the research is completed, Claude Code transforms the results into a living artifact. This enables product teams to use research findings more effectively. ## Challenging Assumptions Claude Code helps researchers challenge their assumptions, leading to more objective results. This enhances the quality of research and helps obtain more reliable findings. ## Research as a Living Artifact Thanks to Claude Code, research results become a living artifact rather than a static presentation. This allows product teams to use research findings in a more dynamic way. ## Sources covering this story - https://uxdesign.cc/research-shouldnt-end-in-a-deck-fe7c1d4fe1af?source=rss----138adf9c44c---4 — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
