๐Ÿง  Automating My Day Like a Boss: My AI Assistant Setup with Runner H

๐Ÿง  Automating My Day Like a Boss: My AI Assistant Setup with Runner H
๐Ÿš€ Overview
For the Runner H โ€œAI Agent Promptingโ€ Challenge, I wanted to create something powerful but practical โ€” something that genuinely helps me manage my day as a busy student. I built a personal productivity assistant with Runner H that scans my email, calendar, and school dashboard each morning and sends me a full breakdown of what I need to do. No more surprises, no missed homework. Just pure focus.

This is the kind of assistant I always wished I had โ€” and now I do.

๐ŸŽฏ What My Runner H Agent Does
Every weekday at 7:30am, Runner H:

Checks my email, school dashboard, and calendar for:

Homework deadlines

Upcoming tests

Events or schedule changes

Important messages

Prioritises tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix:
โ€“ Urgent & Important
โ€“ Important but Not Urgent
โ€“ Urgent but Not Important
โ€“ Everything else

Creates a Daily Focus Document (Google Doc) with:

โœ… Top Priorities

โšก Quick Wins

๐Ÿ“Œ Reminders

๐Ÿ“‹ Notes (summarised from long messages/emails)

Posts a short summary in Discord:

Top 3 tasks

โš ๏ธ Urgent alerts

Calm, focused tone like a productivity coach

๐Ÿงช How I Built It
No code needed โ€” just Runner H and smart prompting. Here's my main prompt:

โ€œAct as my personal executive assistant. Every morning at 7:30am, scan my inbox, school dashboard, and calendar. Collect homework deadlines, upcoming tests, events, and urgent messages. Organise them using the Eisenhower Matrix. Create a daily focus doc in Google Docs with Top Priorities, Quick Wins, Reminders, and Notes (summarised from long messages). Then, post a short 3-sentence summary in Discord with the top task and any urgent alerts. Use a calm, focused tone.โ€

I linked:

Gmail

Google Calendar

Google Docs

Discord (via webhook)

I added test data to simulate deadlines and announcements. It worked beautifully. The daily document was clean and helpful, and the Discord message gave me just the right nudge to start my day.

๐Ÿ’ก Why This Matters
This project helps students (and honestly, anyone) reduce overwhelm. Instead of checking 4 different places, I get a simple, well-organised plan. It saves time, reduces stress, and builds good habits. This is just one example of how AI agents like Runner H can improve productivity and mental wellbeing.

๐Ÿ”ง Test It Yourself
You can recreate this with:

A Gmail account

A calendar with events or assignments

Google Docs connected in Runner H

A Discord webhook URL
Just paste in the prompt above, connect your services, and set the time to run daily at 7:30am.

๐Ÿ“ข Community Sharing
Iโ€™ve shared this idea here to help other students and productivity fans. If you like it, feel free to remix the prompt with your own style โ€” maybe a coach, a gamer, or even a chill monk version!

๐Ÿ† Why I Think This Could Win
Uses real tools students already use

Follows a proven task management method (Eisenhower Matrix)

Simple but powerful routine โ€” not just flashy, but useful

Clear documentation, easy to replicate

Adds a human touch with a calming tone

Thanks for reading โ€” and good luck to everyone in the challenge!
Letโ€™s build the future. ๐Ÿง โš™๏ธ
