Market research Claude does by reading the source, not by querying a database.
Claude reads competitor changelogs, customer interviews, analyst notes, and the long-form posts that actually move opinion — then writes a synthesis with the citations preserved.
Brief drafted — 14 sources cited. Action items pulled:

How does Anthropic (Claude) work for Market Research automation?
Anthropic (Claude) works for Market Research automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Anthropic (Claude) alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Market Research, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Synthesize the last 90 days of competitor blog posts
AI gathers market data from hundreds of sources and synthesizes it into actionable reports.
- 03
Pricing changes into a one-page brief for our Monday standup
Teams typically see days → Hours from scoping to report once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of research questions does this work for?
'Who's our biggest competitive threat in mid-market this quarter?' 'What pricing models did our top 5 competitors ship in the last 6 months?' 'What are the 3 most-debated technical decisions in our category right now?' Anything where the answer is in prose somewhere — not in a structured database.
How is this different from a search-and-summarize tool?
Search-and-summarize gives you the top results paraphrased. Claude reads the full sources end-to-end, weighs them by recency and authority, and synthesizes the disagreements. The output reads like a junior analyst's memo, with citations you can audit.
What sources does it use?
Public web, company changelogs and blog feeds, podcast transcripts, your internal corpus (call recordings, customer interviews, sales notes), and any subscription you have (PitchBook, CB Insights, Forrester, Gartner) with credentials provided.
How do I trust the synthesis?
Every claim links to its source. Disagreements between sources are surfaced explicitly: 'Source A says X; Source B (more recent) says Y.' The agent's own confidence is stated for each claim.
Can it run on a recurring schedule?
Yes. Weekly competitive briefs, monthly deep-dives on a target topic, ad-hoc one-offs. Each run is reproducible — same inputs → same output structure, with a delta showing what's changed since last time.
