AI Internship Application Assistant (Built with Runner H)

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

What I Built

✨ Summary

An autonomous AI agent that helps students search for internships, draft application emails, organize opportunities in Notion, and even send follow-up reminders all with one smart prompt.

⚖️ What It Does

The AI Internship Application Assistant is built using Runner H. It:

  • Finds remote internships based on user preferences
  • Drafts professional email applications
  • Organizes job leads into Notion for tracking
  • Sends polite follow ups if there's no response
  • Works while you focus on learning, coding, or relaxing

How It Works (Agent Steps)

Prompt to Runner H:

"Find me 5 remote internship opportunities in software development that are beginner-friendly, open to students in Ghana, and don't require a cover letter. Add the links, deadline, and summary to a Notion board, then write and schedule personalized emails using my Gmail. Finally, follow up in 7 days."

What the agent does:

  • Search: Queries job boards and filters for beginner-friendly, remote software dev internships
  • Organize: Logs jobs into a Notion board with key info
  • Draft: Writes professional emails per listing
  • Send: Emails each company using Gmail
  • Follow-up: Sets reminder to follow up after 7 days

⚡ How I Used Runner H

  • Runner H account
  • Notion account (connected)
  • Gmail account (connected)

Steps:

  • Open Runner H
  • Paste the prompt above
  • Connect your Gmail + Notion (one-time setup)
  • Watch the agent take over

🚀 Why It Stands Out

  • No coding needed
  • Solves real-world pain for students
  • Fully autonomous workflow from search to sending
  • Highly replicable and extendable

🎓 Use Case & Impact

  • College students seeking remote internships
  • Career centers automating outreach
  • Job seekers applying in batches

Social Love

🥇 Submission Category

  • Prompting (Main Challenge)
  • Community Champion (Shared on social + DEV)

🎯 Final Note

  • 🔁 This is all done from ONE smart prompt no code required.
  • 🧠 Built for students, by a student because searching and applying every day is exhausting.
  • 🚀 With Runner H, I now let AI do the boring part so I can focus on learning and building.
