Founder makes Claude his CEO — the AI now refuses to let him overwork

Entrepreneur Prajwal Tomar shares a quirky setup: he made Claude act as his "boss/CEO," planning his entire workday. He now works 4-5 hours, wraps up by 8 pm, and says revenue and well-being both improved.

The funniest part is the screenshot: he begs the AI for more tasks, and Claude refuses — "No, Prajwal. Today's list is done... Close the laptop, go see your people, and enjoy your evening." Once the day's list is complete, the AI won't let him add more tasks, enforcing a hard stop against overwork.
