🏨 Smart Hotel Finder Agent for Travelers

This is a submission for the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge

What I Built

I created a HotelFinder Agent, an autonomous AI workflow using Runner H that searches for hotel rooms across multiple booking platforms. The agent gathers and organizes hotel data, creates a shareable Google Doc report, schedules Google Calendar reminders, and sends notifications via Slack and email.

This solves the common traveler problem of manually searching multiple sites and organizing results into shareable formats — all automated in a single workflow.

I see it's been a while since this was posted, but I'm curious—has anyone here tried adding voice input to something like this so travelers can talk to the agent while walking around? Seems like it would make things even smoother, especially on the go. Wondering what tools or APIs people have used if they've gone down that road.
