I stopped writing UX research reports. Claude does it in 12 minutes.

Last Tuesday I had 47 pages of user interview transcripts. Three stakeholders waiting for a summary by end of day. Old me would have spent 4 hours highlighting, tagging, and writing.

I dumped the transcripts into Claude Code with one instruction: extract the top 5 pain points, rank by frequency, and include one direct quote per point. Twelve minutes later I had a structured brief that was more thorough than what I would have written manually.

The insight that surprised me: Claude caught a pattern across 3 interviews that I missed completely. Users were describing the same friction point using different words.

The skill here is not prompting. It is knowing what output shape your stakeholders actually need. Define that first. Then let the machine do the sorting.

Open Claude Code. Paste your last round of research notes. Ask for the top 5 themes ranked by frequency with one supporting quote each.
