Runner H as My Academic Research Assistant: Exploring Women in Tech Education

What I Built:

I used Runner H to act as an academic research assistant.
With a single prompt, it:

  1. Found research papers on "women in tech education"
  2. Summarized the main findings
  3. Drafted a professional email I could send to a professor to express research interest

It helps students like me explore academic research without coding or searching for hours.

Demo:
Since I couldn't record a video, here are screenshots of my Runner H run in action:

How I Used Runner H:

Here’s the exact prompt I used in Runner H:

“Act as my academic research assistant. Search the latest 5 research papers from arXiv.org related to ‘women in tech education’ or ‘female students in computer science’. Summarize the key findings from each paper in 3–5 lines. Then, draft a professional summary email I can send to a professor to show that I’m interested in doing research in this area and have explored relevant papers.”

Runner H understood the prompt, found academic papers, extracted insights, and drafted an excellent outreach email in a single run.

Use Case & Impact

This project helps:

  1. Students explore real research areas easily
  2. Beginner researchers contact professors confidently
  3. Non-tech users complete complex academic tasks using AI

It’s perfect for:

. Anyone preparing for internships, research opportunities, or thesis topics
. Female students (like me!) trying to break into tech research

Instead of hours of Googling, this entire workflow was done in one prompt.
