AI research mode extends to 45 minutes for Claude’s reports

Anthropic’s Claude AI assistant receives significant upgrades to its research capabilities, enabling it to conduct complex investigations for up to 45 minutes before delivering comprehensive reports. This enhancement mirrors similar features from competitors like Google’s Deep Research and ChatGPT, but extends Claude’s ability to process more complex requests that would typically require hours of manual research effort.

The big picture: Anthropic has supercharged Claude’s research capabilities while simultaneously expanding its integration options with popular third-party services.

• The upgraded research mode allows Claude to investigate “hundreds of internal and external sources” to compile detailed reports with citations linking to original sources.
• Most research tasks complete within 5-15 minutes, but particularly complex investigations can now take up to 45 minutes.

Key integrations: Claude can now connect with and search data from 10 popular third-party services beyond its existing Google Workspace integration.

• The initial integration partners include Atlassian’s Jira and Confluence, Zapier, Cloudflare, Intercom, Asana, Square, Sentry, PayPal, Linear, and Plaid.
• Anthropic plans to add more services in the future, including Stripe and GitLab.

Availability details: The expanded capabilities are being rolled out to specific subscription tiers.

• The advanced Research and Integrations features are available in beta for users on Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, with Pro plan access coming soon.
• Anthropic has also expanded its web search feature to all Claude users on paid plans globally.
