The Ultimate Weekend Planner

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

What I Built

The "Weekend Navigator": Your Personal AI Concierge for Perfect Plans

I built an autonomous AI agent using Runner H that eliminates the stress and endless scrolling associated with planning a weekend. The "Weekend Navigator" solves the common problem of "decision fatigue" by taking a single, simple prompt—like a city and a general vibe (e.g., "family-friendly")—and transforms it into a fully-fledged, shareable itinerary. It intelligently sources and vets local events, finds highly-rated nearby restaurants, and compiles everything into a clean, collaborative document, freeing up users to spend less time planning and more time enjoying their time off.

Demo

It will output a Google doc like this

How I Used Runner H

Runner H agent orchestrates a four-step workflow to act as a personal concierge, blending web research with practical, real-world outputs.

1. Event Discovery & Vetting (Web Search & RAG)
   Runner H kicks off the process by scouring the web for relevant events.

   Automated Web Search: It performs targeted searches on local news sites, event listing platforms (like Eventbrite), and city guides to find events matching the user's criteria (e.g., "family-friendly events in Austin this weekend").
   Data Synthesis (Google Docs & RAG): Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), the agent doesn't just copy links. It reads the source pages and extracts key details—event description, location, hours, ticket prices, and a snippet from a recent review—to build a rich summary for each event within a Google Doc.

2. Culinary Pairing (Google Maps & Chain-of-Thought Prompting)
   Once events are found, the agent finds great places to eat nearby.

   Geospatial Search (Google Maps): For each event's location, Runner H queries Google Maps for nearby restaurants.
   Intelligent Filtering (Google Sheets & CoT): The agent uses Chain-of-Thought (CoT) Prompting to reason through the selection process. It logs potential restaurants in a temporary Google Sheet and follows a logical chain: "First, I will filter for restaurants with a rating of 4.3 stars or higher. Second, I will filter for those with a '$$' price range or less. From the remaining list, I will select the top three based on the number of reviews." This ensures high-quality, relevant suggestions.

3. Itinerary Assembly & Formatting (Google Docs & Meta Prompting)
   With all the data gathered, the agent creates the final deliverable.

   Document Generation (Google Docs): It compiles the vetted events and their paired restaurant options into a single, beautifully formatted Google Doc titled Weekend Plans - [City] [Date].

4. Collaboration & Action (Gmail & Active-Prompt)
   The final step is to share the plan and make it actionable.

   Automated Sharing (Gmail): Runner H drafts and sends an email containing a link to the Google Doc to the specified contact (e.g., a spouse or friend).
   User-in-the-Loop (Active-Prompt): Before finishing, the agent uses Active-Prompt to offer a next step: "The Weekend Navigator plan has been created and shared. Based on the itinerary, would you like me to add a placeholder event to your Google Calendar for Saturday afternoon to block off the time?" This makes the agent interactive and even more helpful.

Use Case & Impact

Who Benefits: Busy parents, couples, groups of friends, and anyone suffering from planning burnout.

Impact: This agent saves hours of research and negotiation each week, reduces decision fatigue, and encourages people to discover new things in their city, ultimately fostering better work-life balance and more quality social time. It transforms a tedious task into a delightful, automated experience.

Full Prompt

    Runner H, execute the "Weekend Navigator" workflow. Your goal is 
to create a shareable weekend plan.

1. Event Discovery: Using web search, find 3 family-friendly events 
happening in Austin, TX this coming weekend. For each, use RAG to 
extract: a description, location, ticket price, and one recent review 

2. Restaurant Pairing: For each event, use Google Maps and Chain-of-
Thought logic to find 3 nearby restaurants that are highly-rated (4.3 
stars+) and moderately priced.

3. Itinerary Assembly: Compile all this information into a new Google 
Doc named Weekend Plans - Austin [Current Date]. Use Meta Prompting 
to create a friendly introductory paragraph. The format for each 
event should be: Event Name, Details, and then the 3 restaurant 
suggestions.

4. Sharing: Draft and send an email to [[email protected]] with 
the subject "Weekend Plans!" and a link to the Google Doc.

5. Confirmation: Use Active-Prompt to ask if I want to add a 
placeholder event to my Google Calendar for Saturday at 2 PM.
