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.
