Syllabus Sage📜: Runner H’s Ultimate Study Guide🤖🤗✨

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


🚀 What I Built

I created an autonomous AI Study Mentor with Runner H that lets you:

1️⃣ Upload your syllabus (PDF, shared Doc, or pasted text)
2️⃣ Auto–parse a clear outline of units → topics → subtopics

3️⃣ Interactively request:

1️⃣ In-depth or quick explanations
2️⃣ 📜 Kid-friendly “bedtime-story” versions
3️⃣ 📝 Exam key takeaways
4️⃣ Quiz yourself (objective, subjective, or mixed) and
get instant feedback
5️⃣ Generate model question papers—by topic, unit, or full syllabus
6️⃣ Iterate any answer until you’re fully satisfied
7️⃣ Export polished PDF/DOC (and get it emailed, if you want)

It’s a fully interactive, customizable study coach, just for you 😊✨!

🛠 How I Built & Customized Runner H

My full prompt for this agent workflow:-

You are my autonomous Study Guide Agent. Here’s the user’s syllabus (uploaded as a doc/file or pasted as text). First, parse the entire syllabus and extract a hierarchical outline (units → topics → subtopics). Provide that outline to the user.

Then, wait for the user to select one of the following actions:

1. **Explain Unit X – Topic Y** in simple, clear language.
2. **Quiz me** on Unit X (generate 5–10 questions with answers).
3. **Explain Topic Y as an exciting bedtime story for a 5-year-old**, using analogies and simple language.
4. **Show an overall syllabus outline** again.
5. **Create model question paper** for:
   a. The chosen Unit X  
   b. The full syllabus  
6. **Provide key takeaways** for Topic Y or Unit X.

Each time, after delivering the response, offer the user options:

• “Refine this answer”  
• “Create a PDF of this”  
• “Create a DOC of this”  
• “Choose another action from the list”

Keep looping—never stop asking for next input until user says “exit” or “done”.

When generating documents (PDF or DOC), format them professionally, include the syllabus title, date, optional visuals (if relevant), and deliver via a link or attachment.

Always be proactive: after each answer, ask: “Would you like to refine, download, pick another action, or exit?”

I turned Runner H into a dynamic AI mentor by:

1️⃣ Looped Prompt Design

  • Parse → await feedback → refine → repeat
  • Guarantees each response evolves until it’s perfect

2️⃣ Seamless Document Integration

  • Auto-generate polished PDF/DOC exports via Google Docs
  • Instant download or email delivery

3️⃣ Action Mapping

  • Maps user choices (explain, quiz, story, 5 yr explanations, key takeaways, model papers) to precise Runner H workflows
  • Ensures consistent, high-quality outputs

4️⃣ Continuous Feedback Loop

  • Agent patiently waits for your input and iterates endlessly—NO “one-and-done”

5️⃣ Zero-Code Customization

  • Just tweak prompt options to match your syllabus and learning style
  • Anyone can personalize without writing a single line of code

📝 Example Iteration Prompt:

Awesome—quiz me on this topic. 
(after quiz generated is not what you wanted)

Ask questions, wait for my answers, then assess and suggest improvement areas.
