What I Built?
I automated the end-to-end workflow of writing, formatting, and delivering a daily tech article using Runner H. My goal was to eliminate the manual overhead of content creation, especially the repetitive tasks of research, summarization, formatting, file saving, and email communication.
The workflow solves the following key pain points:
Manually searching and filtering relevant, reputable tech news from the last 24 hours.
Writing a quality article with editorial structure and tone.
Saving and organizing content for easy access.
Notifying myself or my editorial team when the content is ready.
With a single prompt, my custom Runner H automation handles everything—turning raw internet content into a polished article, stored and delivered with zero manual intervention.

How I Used Runner H
Here’s how I built the automation using Runner H:
Prompt Design & AI Integration
The core prompt I wrote is:
“Search the internet for a curated list of the top trending tech articles published in the past 24 hours. Prioritize reputable sources like TechCrunch, The Verge, Wired, Ars Technica, and MIT Technology Review.
Summarize the key insights, trends, and news points from these articles, and combine them into a single cohesive article. The final article should:
– Have a clear title
– Include a short introduction
– Group related news into logical sections
– Be written in a concise, engaging tone suitable for a tech-savvy audience
– Be around 700–1,000 words.”
Automation Actions
Once this prompt is executed, Runner H proceeds with the following:
Web Scraping/API Access to pull tech articles from the listed sources.
Summarization & Structuring using AI to group related insights and format the final content into a professional article.
Google Docs Integration:
The article is saved as a new document titled:
Tech Roundup – [Today's Date]
The document is stored in my Google Drive.
Gmail Integration:
Sends an email to my inbox with the subject:
“Tech Article Ready to Publish”
Includes a link to the newly created Google Doc.
Permissions Handling
At the start, Runner H requested permission to access Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs APIs. Once authenticated, the automation proceeded seamlessly.
Runner H Agent Flow Summary:
Trigger: Daily at a specific time or on-demand.
AI Task: Content summarization and formatting.
File Handling: Save to Drive.
Notification: Send email with link.
Use Case & Impact
Real-World Impact
This automation drastically cuts down the time and cognitive load needed to produce high-quality tech content. It’s perfect for:
Tech bloggers and writers who want to stay ahead of trends without the grind.
Newsletters that need fresh content on a tight schedule.
Content marketing teams seeking consistent tech summaries.
Solopreneurs or indie hackers running personal brands or tech blogs.
Benefits
Time Saved: Hours of research, summarizing, and formatting now take minutes.
Consistency: Every article follows a coherent format and tone.
Scalability: Can be extended to cover other topics like AI, finance, or startup news.
Customization: Can easily be modified to add Twitter/X sharing, Medium publishing, or Notion sync.
I hope you also try runner H and lets discuss your next idea to automate the workflow!

Super slick! Love how you've tied together the whole pipeline with AI and Runner H. Have you tried extending this to other content types or channels yet?
My problem was simple: gather the trending tech topics for my blogposts.
I tried to include as little tech as i could include. My aim was not to include eveyhing that runner H has to offer but to solve my problem. I think implementing this has solved my problem. Although we can always try integrating it with slack and other resources. In software engg we say "dont overengineer something". I have tried to do the same.
looks OSM
Thanks. I'm glad that you liked it!
your Runner H prompt is not accessible, there is share button, can you check if you set it to public?
Thanks for pointing out. I have changed the access level from private to public. Now, you should be able to access it. Please let me know.😊
Now it works!
I have made subtle changes in the images. I have now attached my mail which I got from the bot. I hope you liked reading this post. Please give a thumbs up to motivate!
why even write a blog if its not yours?
Why do u think if its not mine?
Because your pain points are basically "researching, writing and maintaining a blog" and you automated that. So, where do YOU add any value anymore?
Valid question. What do you think who added pretty gifs, photos and added md to the article? Who corrected the points that AI was missing? It was all me. People are missunderstanding that AI is doing my job completely. No, its helping me out to do my job faster and more precisely. I think you got the point why i made this automation now. Also, i predict that in near future most of the articles and website that you will read and visit will mostly be generated by AI and its awesome.
I guess we have different definitions of "awesome". If most of the things are generated anyways, most of the things are pretty much worthless since you can as well just ask your local AI yourself. No, I don't want this... but yeah, it's pretty much where we heading: an internet full of bots creating content for other bots. I really hope people will start to value actual human work and real life interaction way more because of that. I, for one, am looking for things AI will never be able to replicate.
I agree, things like abstract art, thesis writing, ideation to a business. AI won't be able to beat humans in these field but things which are already there and which we want to find/sort, AI will do it for us.
Automating your Blog ! just an advise do the hard work yourself to feel the joy of it.
Hard work is now for AI, I believe in smartwork! 😎
How cool, I didn't know you could post a gif. In markdown 😍🥺💪🏻
Now you know. We can also include video or embed youtube video in md.
I have to try it. It's very cool.
Yes! Try it and if u get something cool out it, don't forget to share it!
pretty cool tbh, i always wonder if this kind of automation actually saves your brain space over time or if new headaches pop up later you think it stays easy after a while or gets messy?
This will definitely stress me out of someday this automation stopped working and i have to manually do my researches for my blogpost.
