Claude use cases for work

Use Claude for long documents, careful synthesis and structured writing. Start with a one-off task, then make it recurring only when the inputs, output and review gate are stable.

Claude works well when a workflow needs large-context reading and deliberate drafts. Its honest limit: external actions and recurring runs require connected tools or an automation layer.
