Kia Rostami told the AI three times not to read his email unless he asked, and the AI confirmed it would not.

The AI does his boring paperwork in his own logged in browser: reserve duty refunds, national insurance, flight check-ins

Outside code, his biggest win is boring paperwork. The AI filed his reserve duty refunds, sorted out his national insurance payments and did his flight check-ins, working in his own logged in Chrome. Each job is about ten minutes of work, which is exactly why he kept putting them off. He gives each area of his life its own folder with a CLAUDE.md and a notes file, so the money stuff does not mix with the rest.
