Top match
You should try Claude because it’s built specifically for deep research and long-form writing, which matches exactly what you’re working on. The free tier is a great way to start, though you’ll hit a daily message cap that can feel tight for lengthy documents. If you find yourself regularly analyzing big files or running out of messages, upgrading will give you the room to work without interruptions.
