📋 Project Planner Agent – AI-Powered Roadmap Builder for Any Software Idea

#devchallenge #runnerhchallenge #ai #machinelearning

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

What I Built

I built the 🧠 Project Planner Agent – AI-Powered Roadmap Builder for Any Software Idea, a smart AI-powered agent designed to turn any rough idea into a fully structured, step-by-step project plan. Whether you're building an app, writing a research paper, or launching a startup—this assistant has your back.

It helps users define their goals, break down tasks, estimate timelines, and even format the output for Notion. Basically, it takes you from "I have an idea" to "I know exactly what to do next."

How I Used Runner H

I used Runner H to create a fully interactive prompt that:

  1. Asks the user for the project name, goal, tools, features, and deadline.
  2. Automatically generates:
    • A project summary
    • A task breakdown
    • A timeline
    • A Notion-friendly markdown version
  3. Offers clean, human-readable formatting for easy copy-paste or export.

Runner H's clarity and structured prompting capabilities made it super smooth to guide users step-by-step without overwhelming them.

Here’s how you can replicate it:

  1. Copy the prompt into Runner H.
  2. Run it and answer the questions.
  3. Your project plan is ready to go! ✅

  • Target Platform – For example, mobile, web, or desktop.
  • Tools/Technologies (optional) – Any frameworks, libraries, or platforms you plan to use.
  • Save to Notion? – Yes/No prompt to export the plan into a Notion-friendly format.

Use Case & Impact

🎯 Who it's for:

  • Developers with side projects
