I prepared a short video showing how I use Claude Code for *non-coding* tasks.
This video shows how I leverage Claude Code beyond traditional coding, transforming it into my personal deep researcher. The approach requires some initial setup, but it is worth it:
- Claude account (Pro/Max recommended)
- Claude Code installation
- Visual Studio Code (think of it as a fancy text editor, but important for this setup)
Two examples how I used it
- EU Tender Analysis: Automated review of European Commission tender documents, matching company capabilities against tender requirements with contextual analysis of team expertise.
- Market Research: Competitive landscape analysis for logistics equipment marketplace, including automated web research and comprehensive competitor dossier generation.
The key hack here is that this setup gives you a powerful deep-research assistant that works directly with your *local* files, while keeping Claude’s memory neatly compartmentalized. Each folder is its own project, so nothing overlaps. In practice, this means you have specialized junior assistants (one per folder) handling time-intensive workflows in the background, and you simply review the results once they are finished.
I hope this is helpful!
