Did you use Claude Code to write the post? I'm finding that I'm using it for 100% of my own writing because agentic editing of markdown files is so good (and miles better than what you get with claude.ai artifacts or chatgpt.com canvas). This is how you can do things like merge deep research or other files into the doc that you are writing.



no, just used chatgpt to bootstrap the research :)

here's the original chat: https://chatgpt.com/share/6844eaae-07d0-8001-a7f7-e532d63bf8...

I also used bits from claude research but apparently if you use claude research, they don't let you create a share link -_-


Right. But you can copy paste that into a separate doc and have Claude Code merge it in (and not a literal merge - a semantic merge "integrate relevant parts of this research into this doc"). This is super powerful - try it!


Does Claude Code perform any different than browser Claude for writing tasks?

I recently wrote a long Markdown document, and asked Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini to improve it.

Comparing outputs, it was very close between Gemini and Claude, but I decided that Claude was slightly better-written.


The models are the same, but the actual prompts sent to the model are likely somewhat different because of the agentic loop - so I would imagine (without having done the experiments) there will be slight differences. Unclear whether they will be more or less than the variance in responses sent multiple times to the same experience (e.g., Claude.ai variance vs. Claude Code variance vs. variance between Claude.ai and Claude Code). Would be an interesting controlled experiment to try!
