What they did
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.
How it went
The poster says this process found them a London rental in five days. The source does not give harder numbers on viewings, replies, or which part of the process still needed manual handling.
Worth knowing
The key catch is that the setup relied on Claude Cowork repeatedly scanning multiple rental sites and sending digest emails on a schedule.
