Claude (Projects) Review

The best model for reading long transcripts, reports and interview sets and telling you what matters.

Claude's Projects feature lets you drop entire engagement corpora — interview transcripts, PDFs, historical reports — into a persistent workspace and interrogate them. For synthesis-heavy consulting work, it consistently outperforms other frontier models on quality and instruction-following.
