A realistic first task

You ran three rounds of user research and have hours of interview transcripts, notes, and Figma explorations. You need to identify themes and write a spec for your next feature. Upload all the research artifacts to Cowork. Ask Claude to: identify the top 3-5 user problems, group feedback by theme, pull metrics from your research dashboard, and draft a spec with acceptance criteria and success metrics. Cowork cuts research synthesis from a week to a day.
