Find a London flat to rent
According to the write-up, the poster had Claude Cowork run a repeat search across SpareRoom, OpenRent, Rightmove, and Zoopla twice a day. It screened out student flats and homes with three or more bedrooms, drafted personalised outreach for promising listings, and emailed the poster a digest they could act on from their phone. The poster says this process located them a London rental in five days.

How you could try it

Plan: find a London flat to rent. Compare 2–3 options (cost, timing, tradeoffs), recommend one, and do not book or pay yet.
Tip: Have the agent list options with prices and cancellation rules, and only book once you have said yes to one.
