Compile and filter apartment listings
According to the write-up, renno Mihalis, 23, had one week to find an apartment in San Francisco after getting a job offer. Rather than powered by a single rental platform, he Leaned on Claude and ChatGPT to compile a list of property management websites. The AI did a pretty good job listing apartments within his parameters, but sometimes included ones outside them.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 225 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 36 by interest), and one of 213 involving Claude.

Help me compile and filter apartment listings. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
