💡 Why I Built Expensely

Money is one of those things we all think about every single day — but tracking it often feels like a chore.

I’ve tried using spreadsheets and complicated finance apps in the past, but they were either too clunky or too bloated with features I didn’t need.

So I thought: What if I could make a lightweight app that just lets me quickly log my income and expenses, and shows me my net worth instantly?

That’s how Expensely was born.

⚙️ What’s Inside

Here’s what I built into Expensely this week:

✅ Add new transactions (income or expense)
✅ Edit or delete transactions
✅ See your total income, total expenses, and net worth at a glance
✅ Clean, responsive UI built with Next.js, TailwindCSS, and ShadCN
✅ Instant feedback with toast notifications

It’s simple, fast, and distraction-free — perfect for keeping track of your money without overwhelm.

🚀 Tech Stack

I kept things minimal but modern:

Next.js — frontend framework
TailwindCSS — styling
ShadCN — beautiful UI components
React state for managing transactions (no backend yet — everything runs locally in the browser)

📈 What’s Next?

Right now, Expensely is just a frontend app. But here are a few ideas I’m considering:

Add authentication & databases (maybe Supabase or Firebase)
Categories & filtering for expenses
Exporting to CSV/Excel for easier budgeting

🙌 I’d Love Your Feedback

If you give Expensely a try, I’d love to hear:

Does the simple approach work for you, or would you prefer more advanced features?
What’s the one must-have feature you’d add?
Would you actually use this as your daily money tracker?

👉 Try it here: expensely-money.vercel.app
👉 Star the repo if you like it: github.com/shravzzv/expensely

Thanks for reading — and see you next week with another small project 🚀

Introducing Pomora: a minimal, focused Pomodoro timer (Next.js + Tailwind + shadcn/ui)

Sai Shravan Vadla — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 09:04:04 +0000

Introduction

“Do one thing well.” That’s the entire idea behind Pomora. It’s a simple Pomodoro timer with a clean UI, dark mode, and zero fluff—built with Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui.

Live demo: https://pomora.vercel.app/
Source code: https://github.com/shravzzv/pomora

Why build another Pomodoro timer?

Two reasons:

Build-every-week habit: I wanted a small but polished app to sharpen my Next.js + UI chops.
Minimalism: Most timers do too much. I wanted a calm, unobtrusive tool I actually enjoy keeping open.

No accounts. No dashboards. No backend. Just a good timer.

Features

Three modes: Pomodoro (25m), Short Break (5m), Long Break (20m)
Controls: Start / Pause / Resume / Restart + Reset
Smart time display: hh:mm:ss only when hours are needed
Dark/Light themes with a settings dialog
Responsive and accessible UI (buttons, focus, contrast)
Privacy friendly: no backend; optional Vercel Analytics if you want it

Tech stack

Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript
Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling
shadcn/ui for accessible primitives (Tabs, Dialog, Button, Switch)
lucide-react for crisp icons
Vercel Analytics

Wrap-up

Pomora is intentionally small. If you’ve been meaning to ship something, I highly recommend a scoped, well-designed utility like this. You’ll finish faster and learn a lot on polish.

If you try it, I’d love feedback.

🦺 CrisisCopilot – Your AI Agent for Personal Emergency Management

Sai Shravan Vadla — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 15:32:00 +0000

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

🧠 Problem

When you're hit with a personal emergency—like a medical crisis, travel delay, sudden job loss, or family issue—your brain goes into survival mode. It becomes difficult to think clearly, prioritize, or remember critical tasks. Often, people don’t know who to contact, what to do next, or how to coordinate their life while navigating a stressful situation.

There’s no single system that calmly takes over, executes key coordination steps, and lets you focus on what matters most: your well-being.

💡 Solution

CrisisCopilot is a Runner H agent that helps you handle personal emergencies with clarity and control. It automates coordination, communication, documentation, and scheduling across your connected tools.

Just upload your emergency contacts as a .csv file, describe your situation, and CrisisCopilot does the rest—communicating with your contacts, generating your action plan, setting calendar events, tracking expected expenses, and informing your team—all while you catch your breath.

What I Built

CrisisCopilot is a multi-step Runner H automation that helps you manage real-life emergencies without cognitive overload. It spans five tools (Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, and Slack) and uses one input (your emergency context + contacts CSV) to orchestrate a full support workflow.

I built it to simulate the experience of a real executive assistant who calmly says, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this." Except this assistant never sleeps.

How I Used Runner H

💼 Prompt Format Used in Runner H:

⚠ Note that you need to upload a .csv file of your emergency contacts first. You can get them by exporting them from Google contacts or any other contacts software as a .csv file. Then upload them to Runner H.

Then proceed to use this prompt below with all of the necessary connections--Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar and Slack.

You are CrisisCopilot, my personal AI assistant for emergency management.

Emergency: There was a fire in my apartment building and I had to evacuate with just my phone and wallet. The fire department is here, but I don’t know how bad the damage is. I’m safe, but shaken. I need to find emergency shelter for tonight and figure out how to access insurance and document the damage. My laptop and important documents may be gone.

Your job is to calmly coordinate all my next steps across tools I've connected. Follow this workflow carefully:

---

1. **Emergency Contacts**
   - Read the uploaded CSV file titled `emergency_contacts.csv`
   - Send a respectful, concise Gmail message to each contact describing the emergency and letting them know I may reach out soon. Keep tone calm and reassuring.

   ✅ *Example Gmail message:*

Subject: Quick Update – \[Your Name] is handling a personal emergency

Hi \[Contact Name],

I wanted to let you know that I'm currently dealing with a personal emergency: \[Brief one-line description, e.g., "a minor accident and medical recovery"]. I'm okay, but things may be a little unpredictable over the next few days.

Just wanted to keep you in the loop — I’ll follow up soon if anything needs your help or input.

Warmly,
Sai Shravan Vadla

---

2. **Create a Google Doc**
- Title: "[Emergency Type] – To-Do List"
- Generate a list of 10–20 practical, organized to-dos to navigate this emergency.
- Categorize tasks by priority: *Immediate*, *This Week*, *Follow-up*
- Keep it clear, structured, and helpful.

---

3. **Add Google Calendar Events**
- Create 10-15 events in my calendar ranging the next 10-12 days about any todos you might think are necessary.

---

4. **Create Google Sheet: "Emergency Expense Tracker"**
- Columns: `Item/Service`, `Estimated Cost`, `Actual Cost`, `Date`, `Status`
- Add a few placeholder rows based on likely costs related to this emergency.
- Include a row at the bottom to show total estimated vs. actual costs.
This is really important. Please create this Google sheet at all costs. This should be a sheet and not a document.
---

5. **Send Slack Message to My Team**
- Post a thoughtful message to our general team Slack channel to keep everyone in the loop and reduce confusion.
- Message should be empathetic, not overly dramatic, and set clear expectations.

✅ *Example Slack message:*

Hey everyone — just a quick heads up: I'm currently handling a personal emergency (\[brief mention, e.g., "some health stuff"]). I'm okay, but I may be slower to respond or need to delegate some tasks over the next few days.

I’ll keep you posted if anything urgent changes. Thanks so much for your understanding and support 🙏

– Sai Shravan Vadla

---

6. **Final Summary PDF**
- Generate a PDF summary titled 'CrisisCopilot report':
  - What actions were taken, to whom were the emails sent to
  - What tools were updated
  - Link to the Google Doc, Sheet, Calendar events, and Slack message

Use Case & Impact

Who is this for?

Remote workers or freelancers with no backup
Students or digital nomads
Solo founders juggling work and life
Anyone who panics in a crisis or forgets critical steps

How does it help?

Streamlines chaos into a plan
Notifies your people automatically
Keeps your calendar and budget in sync
Gives you space to breathe and focus on healing

This is especially powerful for people living away from family or with executive function challenges (like ADHD), who need support in moments of stress.

Sai Shravan Vadla — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 05:18:37 +0000

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

Managing multiple clients means juggling meeting notes, follow-up tasks, important deadlines, and communication — often across scattered documents and inboxes.

It’s easy to forget a detail, miss a deadline, or delay an important check-in.

Solution

Just upload your client notes — ClientPulse does the rest.

🧠 Extracts key details: client name, contact info, discussion summary, follow-ups, and deadlines
📄 Creates a clean Google Doc summary for all clients
📅 Schedules follow-up tasks as events in Google Calendar
📧 Sends a follow-up email to the client using Gmail (based on the notes)

An example client meeting notes that was uploaded to the agent:

📄 1. ClientPulse – Acme Corp – Website Kickoff
Date: June 25, 2025
Client Contact: Sarah Mitchell – Head of Marketing
Email: sarah.mitchell@acmecorp.com

📝 Meeting Summary:
We kicked off the new website redesign project for Acme Corp. Sarah emphasized the need for a more modern, mobile-first design and faster performance. They're also rebranding, so the new design must align with their updated color palette and brand voice.

They would like a rough homepage wireframe by July 3 and expect a first prototype by July 12. SEO will be a key focus, so collaboration with their SEO team is essential starting next week.

✅ Action Items:
[You] Deliver homepage wireframe by July 3

[You] Begin competitor benchmarking (look at Stripe, Notion, and Intercom)

[Acme] Provide updated brand guidelines by June 28

[You + Acme SEO team] Meet to align SEO priorities – scheduled for July 1 at 10 AM

📌 Notes:
Their development team is using Webflow, so designs must be compatible.

Sarah mentioned their CEO might want a review session mid-July.

🚀 StudySherpa: An AI Agent to Organize Notes, Generate Flashcards, and Track Deadlines

Sai Shravan Vadla — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 08:33:29 +0000

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

Intro

Being a student often means dealing with chaos:

Notes scattered across multiple docs
No system for review or spaced repetition
Deadlines scattered across syllabi and forgotten calendar invites

This is cognitively exhausting, and students end up spending more time organizing than learning.

Solution

StudySherpa is an AI-powered agent built with Runner H that solves this problem. It reads uploaded study materials, creates flashcards, adds deadlines to Google Calendar, and keeps everything centralized and actionable.

It’s like having a personal academic assistant that organizes your knowledge and schedule while you sleep.

What I Built

StudySherpa is a Runner H automation designed to:

Read docs containing study content or syllabus
Extract important points and generate Q&A-style flashcards
Write these flashcards into new Google Docs
Create Google Calendar events for any upcoming deadlines found in the uploaded documents
Create a Flashcard Index linking all generated flashcard docs for easy access

Demo

Here's the link to my ai agent:

Prompt Setup

Below is the full prompt used in Runner H for StudySherpa:

You are StudySherpa, a student’s personal academic assistant. Follow these steps in order:

1. Read all uploaded Google Docs. Assume they contain either lecture notes or a syllabus.
2. For each doc, extract important facts, concepts, or questions. Convert these into spaced repetition-style Q&A flashcards.
3. Create a new Google Doc for each source doc titled: “StudySherpa – Flashcards – [Original Title]” and write the flashcards in a clear Q&A format.
4. If the original doc includes any dates or deadlines, extract them and create Google Calendar events with those dates and a relevant title.
5. At the end, create a summary Google Doc titled "StudySherpa – Flashcard Index" and list all the flashcard doc titles and links in a bullet-point format.

Formatting for flashcards:
- Use headings for topic sections
- Bold the question and italicize the answer
- Example:
  **What is the powerhouse of the cell?**
  *The mitochondrion.*

Make sure everything is clear, organized, and actionable for the student.

How It Works

Step-by-Step Workflow:

Upload lecture notes or syllabus as Google Docs
Runner H reads them, extracts deadlines and knowledge
Flashcards are created in new Google Docs
Events are created in the user’s Google Calendar for key dates
Index Doc is created linking all flashcard documents

Diagram:

This is perfect for:

Students with messy folders full of study docs
People studying for exams who want to review with flashcards
Anyone who receives syllabi with unclear deadlines

Impact:

Saves hours of manual note summarization
Keeps everything in one place
Reduces anxiety about forgetting tasks or dates

📈 AdWiz: AI-Powered Ad Ideas, Straight to Slack

Sai Shravan Vadla — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 08:21:16 +0000

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

What I Built

AdWiz is an AI agent built with Runner H that automates ad ideation for creative and marketing teams. It scrapes trending ads and marketing insights from the web, compiles them into a structured Google Sheet, and sends a curated drop of ad ideas to your team’s Slack workspace—every week or on demand.

It solves the problem of creative block and research overhead for marketers by delivering relevant, timely inspiration right where teams already collaborate.

Demo

Here's the link to my Runner H run:

Surfer 2: The Next Generation of Cross-Platform Computer-Use Agents - H Company

We are a frontier AI research company that designs, builds, and deploys cost-efficient agentic AI systems directly into enterprises’ core workflows and processes.

hcompany.ai

And the spreadsheet it created:

Trending Ad Ideas - Google Sheets

docs.google.com

How I Used Runner H

Runner H made it incredibly easy to orchestrate a workflow across multiple tools with no backend or server to maintain.

Here’s how I built it:

Trigger: Manual run via Runner H dashboard.
Agent Prompting: The agent analyses current trends in advertising and brainstorm creative ad concepts.
Google Sheets Integration: The agent writes the ideas into a Google Sheet, formatting them into columns like Trend and Description.
Slack Integration: Once the sheet is ready, a message is sent to a specific Slack channel with the link and a quick summary.

Replicate it in Runner H:

Add Google Sheets and Slack as integrations.
Use this prompt "Create a Google Sheet with trending ad ideas and send it to my team on Slack".

Use Case & Impact

This is especially useful for:

Meeting to Google Docs

Sai Shravan Vadla — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 16:53:33 +0000

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

What I Built

I built a super simple but surprisingly useful Runner H agent called “Meeting to Google Docs”. The goal? Just type in the details of your meeting, and boom — Runner H creates a clean, ready-to-use Google Doc titled with the meeting name and structured with your agenda.

This agent is for anyone (like me!) who constantly has to jot down meeting notes, agendas, or brainstorms and just wants to skip the repetitive formatting and file creation. It takes 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes.

How I Used Runner H

Here’s how I set it up:
Connected my Google Docs account to Runner H.
Prompted Runner H like this:
“Create a Google Doc titled ‘[Meeting Name]’ with this agenda:
Team updates
Project progress
Roadblocks
Next steps”

Runner H instantly created a well-formatted Google Doc in my Drive — no extra clicks, no templates, no chaos.

You can easily replicate this by typing your own meeting title and points — that’s it! No code, no learning curve.

Use Case & Impact

If you’ve ever scrambled 2 minutes before a call to create a doc, or juggled messy notes across apps, this is your fix. It’s great for:
Freelancers and teams documenting client calls
Students prepping group work agendas
Startups managing stand-ups or sprint planning
Anyone who wants to stop reinventing the wheel every time they need a document

It doesn’t try to do everything — just one thing really well. And that’s the magic. ✨

I’ll be sharing this on Twitter and LinkedIn soon — will update with links here once it’s live!

🏠 Mailo: AI Email Replies, Seamlessly Delivered

Sai Shravan Vadla — Sat, 07 Jun 2025 10:05:52 +0000

This is a submission for the Postmark Challenge: Inbox Innovators.

What I Built

I built Mailo, an email-based AI assistant powered by Postmark and OpenAI’s GPT-4. You simply send an email to the designated mail address, and Mailo replies with a thoughtful, relevant, and human-like response within seconds. It feels like you're emailing a helpful friend who’s really good at everything. Whether you're asking a technical question, seeking advice, or just curious about something—Mailo reads your message, understands the context, and sends a high-quality AI-generated reply.

The magic is in the simplicity: you don’t need to sign up, install anything, or learn a new interface. Just send an email like you normally would. You can also reply to Mailo’s responses to continue the conversation—threaded replies are fully supported. It’s as natural and frictionless as having an ongoing chat, but over email. The goal was to make AI feel invisible and effortlessly integrated into a tool everyone already uses daily: email.

How I Built It

🔧 Tech Stack

Mailo is built on top of modern, minimal technologies designed for speed, privacy, and simplicity:

Frontend: Next.js (App Router) + Tailwind CSS for styling and responsive UI.
Backend: Next.js API routes for handling outbound mail, webhook payloads, and AI response generation.
AI Engine: OpenAI’s GPT-4 for smart, high-quality email replies.
Email Infrastructure:
- Postmark's inbound stream for receiving emails.
- Custom MX record setup to route all emails sent to contact@shravzzv.tech directly into a Postmark Inbound Stream, which then hits a webhook in my app.

🧪 Testing instructions:

Testing Mailo is easy. All you need is an email account:

Go to mailo-nine.vercel.app and click Try it now, or just send an email directly to contact@shravzzv.tech.
Use a clear subject line as your question.
Optionally, add extra context or details in the body of the email.
Wait a few seconds — Mailo will respond to you automatically.
Got follow-up questions? Just reply to the email you received — Mailo understands and continues the conversation intelligently.

⚠️ Note: If you don’t see a reply, check your spam folder. All replies are sent within a few seconds.

♿ Accessibility

I made a conscious effort to ensure Mailo is as accessible as possible:

✅ Semantic HTML and ARIA-aware elements
✅ Keyboard navigability across all interactive components
✅ Responsive and legible on mobile, tablet, and desktop
✅ Email-first design — users who don't visit the website still get the full Mailo experience

✨ Highlights & Learnings

I learned to configure custom MX records and route emails directly through Postmark's infrastructure — giving me complete control over inbound email flows.
I built a robust, privacy-first workflow that requires zero user data storage.
I realized the power of using email as an API — the interface is already everywhere, no onboarding needed. -It was incredibly fun (and challenging) to make email feel conversational and alive with AI.

Thanks for checking out Mailo — I'm excited to see where this goes next! 👋 If you have feedback, questions, or ideas, feel free to… well, just send me an email. Built for the Postmark Inbox Innovators Hackathon with love.💛

The Social Roastmaster

This is a submission for the Agent.ai Challenge: Assembly of Agents (See Details)

What I Built

Have you ever needed to do deep research on a company, only to find yourself drowning in a sea of dry facts and figures? What if you could turn that data into something hilarious and memorable? That's the core idea behind my Agent.ai creation: the Company Meme Generator.

I built an agent that utilizes two other agents to do a thorough research on a company and then based on that research, generate a funny meme. My agent uses these two agents:

Both these agents were created by Dharmesh, the founder of agent.ai, the platform that made it all possible! His pre-built agents are like gold – the company research agent digs deep and uncovers tons of info, while the meme maker turns complex details into funny memes. Dharmesh's creations are powerful on their own, but even better as building blocks for new inventions like mine. The Agent.ai platform that he built is incredibly user-friendly and empowers anyone to create innovative agents, and that's what makes it so special.

Agent.ai Experience

The Agent.ai builder has been an absolute delight to work with. Its intuitive interface and user-friendly design made the process of creating my agent surprisingly smooth. While I'm a big fan of the low barrier to entry, it also presented a unique challenge: with so many powerful pre-built agents at my fingertips and a platform that encouraged creativity, I found myself pushing hard to make my own agent stand out from the crowd.

This challenge ultimately led me to the unconventional approach of combining two seemingly unrelated agents: the company research agent and the meme maker. It's a testament to the flexibility and power of Agent.ai that these agents, designed for separate purposes, could be seamlessly integrated to create something entirely new.

Agent.ai Experience

My experience with Agent.ai has been fantastic! The platform's simplicity made creating new agents a breeze. The extensive documentation provided a clear understanding of the available tools and functionalities. The most challenging aspect, however, was crafting AI agents that offered genuine utility, going beyond the realm of simple chatbots. I found myself constantly asking, "How can I leverage Agent.ai's capabilities to create an agent that truly solves a problem for users?" This challenge pushed me to explore the platform's potential in new ways and ultimately resulted in the development of The Catalyst, an agent that uses AI to personalize the user experience and streamline the workday.
