Let an agent handle a London flat search
Claude Cowork watched rental sites twice daily and helped someone get a place in London after five days.
- What they did
- They set Claude Cowork to scan SpareRoom, OpenRent, Rightmove, and Zoopla on a repeating schedule. The agent dropped student listings and properties with three or more bedrooms, then wrote customised outreach for the most promising results. It also emailed a short summary that the poster could read and act on from their phone.
- How it went
- The search produced a London flat to rent after five days. The source does not break out viewings, responses, or which steps still needed a person to step in.
- Tips
- This kind of setup is useful when you want continuous monitoring rather than a single search. Keep a review step in place so the agent waits for approval before it sends messages or does anything final.
Try it yourself with Claude Cowork
Keep watch for rental listings in [CITY/AREA] across [SITE 1], [SITE 2], [SITE 3], and [SITE 4]. Check them [TWICE A DAY / DAILY] for [TIME PERIOD]. Remove student-only ads and any listing that has [BEDROOM LIMITS] or misses these requirements: [BUDGET], [MOVE-IN DATE], [COMMUTE], [PETS], [OTHER NEEDS]. For each good match, write a brief personalised message I can send to the contact. Also give me a short digest I can read quickly on my phone, with the strongest options first and a note on why each one fits. Before any message is sent, any application is submitted, any viewing is booked, or any other irreversible action happens, pause and ask me to approve it first.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
