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

What I Built

I built an AI Research Synthesizer Bot using Runner H that automatically fetches the 5 most recent AI papers from arXiv, summarizes the key findings, methods, and contributions of each, and delivers a clean, formatted Google Doc straight to my inbox.

🧠 Use Case:

As a student constantly trying to stay updated with the fast-moving AI research landscape, this agent saves me hours every week by doing the heavy lifting — finding papers, extracting insights, and organizing it beautifully for reading later.

How I Used Runner H

Runner H did all the work from one single natural language prompt!

Prompt used:

“Get the 5 most recent AI papers from arXiv, summarize key findings and methods, compile them into a Google Doc, and email it to me.”

I used the following tools inside Runner H:

@Fetch – to call the arXiv API and retrieve latest papers
Surfer H (GPT) – to summarize abstracts into structured summaries
@Google Docs – to create a formatted research digest
@Gmail – to send me the completed summary document

The workflow is fully autonomous. I simply run the agent weekly and receive my digest — no manual steps required!

Use Case & Impact

This agent is perfect for:

👩‍🎓 Students in AI/ML programs
🧑‍🔬 Researchers who need weekly digests
🧠 Anyone learning from arXiv papers but overwhelmed by volume

Instead of wasting time digging through abstracts, this agent delivers the top 5 AI papers, summarized intelligently, straight to your inbox — formatted, readable, and actionable.

It’s also extensible — you could expand it to:

Weekly newsletters
Notion database updates
AI reading clubs
Professor-led lab updates
