Join the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge: $10,000 in Prizes for 20 Winners!!!

Publish Date: Jun 5

We're thrilled to announce one of our biggest challenges to-date, in partnership with H Company and their newest product, Runner H, with $10,000 to win:

Runner H is the AI agent you can delegate all your boring and repetitive tasks to - an autonomous agent that can use any tools you give it and complete full tasks from a single prompt, such as:

  • Reading your important emails, drafting (and even sending!) replies.
  • Finding job opportunities and applying for you.
  • Creating a Google Sheet with trending ad ideas and sending it to your team on Slack.

And much much more...all while you're enjoying your morning coffee. ☕

Challenge Details

Running through July 6, the Runner H "AI Agent Prompting" Challenge is all about building with Runner H. This challenge is designed to be our most accessible yet, requiring no coding skills, just your creativity and ability to prompt AI agents!

We'll be selecting 20 winners from our $10,000 prize pool for this challenge, so definitely give it a try!

What do you need to do?

Use Runner H to complete a creative, innovative, or time-consuming task. Show us how AI agents can transform the way we work, whether it's streamlining daily tasks, solving complex business problems, or creating entirely new possibilities we haven't imagined yet.

Your submission should demonstrate the power and versatility of Runner H while providing clear documentation that helps others understand and potentially replicate your work.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or completely new to AI agents, this is your chance to explore the cutting edge of autonomous workflows and showcase what's possible when AI handles the heavy lifting!

We'll be selecting 10 winners from this overall prompt, plus 10 additional winners from our Community Champion category.


Additional Prize Category

We want to get the word out about Runner H so we have one additional prize category dedicated to spreading community awareness!

  • Community Champion: Awarded to ten submissions most loved by the developer community at large.

Those participating in this category should:

  • Share your use case online and embed your social posts directly in the body of your submission or in the comments section.
  • Follow @hcompany_ai and share your use case in this thread:

We'll be determining 'most loved' through a mix of DEV engagement, social engagement, as well as community volunteer judge popularity.

Judging Criteria

All submissions will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  • Utilization of Runner H: How effectively does your submission leverage Runner H's capabilities? We're looking for creative and meaningful use of the platform's AI agent features.
  • Clarity of Technical Documentation: How well do you explain your workflow? Submissions should include clear installation guides, tutorials, and documentation that enables others to understand and replicate your solution.
  • Use Case (Creativity and Innovation): How innovative and creative is your approach? We want to see unique solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible with AI agents and demonstrate real-world value.

Our judges will also consider the overall impact and potential of your submission, looking for solutions that showcase the transformative power of autonomous AI workflows.

Prizes 💰

Our 20 winners will share the $10,000 prize pool. Each winner will receive:

All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.

    This is a fascinating idea. I've got some questions about it.

    1. Does it only run online? I assume so, but what cloud (or clouds) does it use?

    2. What does it cost?

    Runner H helped me act like a research assistant exploring women in tech education. It found papers, summarized insights, and even drafted a professional email — all in one go!

    First, thanks for the opportunity.

    That said, I'm currently running into issues with tools. The platform requires SSE URL for Zapier but Zapier now only "supports" streamable HTTP for MCP. I changed the /mcp at the end of the http URL to /sse to align with what was shown in the video on the page for Zapier integration on the runner H platform. I then tried to access it from chat, but the AI keeps saying it doesn't have access to any Zapier tools. I also tried connecting my drive, but it wouldn't work. The AI keeps saying it can't see anything in my drive.

    I've sent several messages on discord, but no response. So I'm sending this here with the hope that someone would see it and actually proffer a solution.

    Thanks in advance.
