#devchallenge #runnerhchallenge #ai #machinelearning

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

🎯 What I Built

I engineered LifeBlocker H, a seamless Runner H workflow that fuses Google Calendar, Gmail, and Notion into your ultimate accountability partner. It tackles that all-too‑familiar gap between intention and action by:

1️⃣ Tailored Onboarding

Captures your name & email to craft warm, personal reminders.
Prompts you to choose up to 3 deep‑work sessions per day.

2️⃣ Smart Time‑Blocking

Collects task name, date, start time, and 90–120 min slot.
Auto‑generates Calendar events instantly - no manual fuss😌.

3️⃣ Uplifting Momentum Boosts

Dispatches a motivational email 10 minutes before each deep work session block.
Sets the tone and keeps focus razor‑sharp.

4️⃣ End‑of‑Day Reflection

Triggers a Notion review email right after your final block.
Lets you tick off accomplishments and capture learnings.

5️⃣ Heartfelt Accountability

Scans for incomplete tasks in Notion.
Sends a caring( disappointed actually 🙄😏) nudge to up to 3 loved ones if you miss a goal.

LifeBlocker H isn’t just an agent, but a trusted ally that guides you from planning to completion, day in and day out✨.

I leveraged Runner H’s no‑code agent builder to bring LifeBlocker H to life with:

Chained Prompts & Actions: Sequentially moved from onboarding → time‑block creation → motivational emails → Notion review → social escalation.
Seamless Integrations: Linked Google Calendar, Gmail, and Notion via OAuth—no scripts or APIs to write.
Precision Timing: Employed Runner H’s timer triggers for on‑the‑dot reminders and end‑of‑day reviews.
Stateful Context Management: Stored and reused user inputs so each step flows naturally.

This setup empowers anyone & everyone to deploy a full-fledged accountability assistant in minutes, entirely code‑free.

✨ Final Words

LifeBlocker H wasn’t born out of code—it was born out of chaos.

Like many of you, I’ve stared at my to-do list, overwhelmed by distractions, knowing exactly what to do… but never quite starting. I built this because I needed it—something that wouldn’t just track my time, but guide me through it, minute by minute, block by block.

But I knew gentle nudges weren’t enough. What if not finishing your tasks didn’t just affect you—but pinged your accountability circle too?

That’s why LifeBlocker H has a powerful (and personal) twist:

📧 If you skip or ignore your tasks, it sends a gentle reminder to someone you care about—a friend, a sibling, a mentor. Because sometimes, we try harder when it’s not just about us.

This agent doesn’t just automate—it supports. It becomes your quiet coach, your focus friend, your accountability partner. It lifts you out of the noise, celebrates your small wins, and gently reminds you when you're slipping.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of procrastination, the fog of burnout, or the guilt of unfinished plans—LifeBlocker H is for you. And maybe, just maybe, it’ll give you the momentum and meaning it gave me.
