Verses such as Ayatul Kursi which are recited in the morning and evening or before going to bed or to protect oneself from satanic forces, those verses can also be recited for deeds and self-protection.

Ma'mar (R.A.) said, I asked Imam Zuhri (R.A.), whether he can recite the dhikr of Allah on whom Ghusl is obligatory. He said, yes, you can. I asked, can recite the Qur'an? He said, no. (Musannaf Abdur Razzaq) Ibrahim Nakhi (R.A.) said, those who are required to take a bath can recite the Dhikr of Allah and recite Bismillah. (Abdur Razzaq in Musannaf)

If you read Ayatul Kursi as a morning-evening act or to protect yourself from satanic forces, it will be considered as supplication and dhikr, recitation of the Qur'an will not be considered.
